Cody Morris: Everything you need to know

The Yankees released Morris on Tuesday. Morris spent all of last season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he turned in a 4.03 ERA and 1.39 WHIP over 38 innings. The 28-year-old should be able to land another minor-league deal elsewhere, though he'll likely need to fight for an Opening Day roster spot during spring training.

Morris was assigned outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday. Morris was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Sunday and he will now remain with the organization's Triple-A squad after he cleared waivers. The right-hander has produced an uninspiring 4.25 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with 42 strikeouts over 36 innings in 24 appearances, including two starts, with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
