David Morgan: Breaking News

The Padres optioned Morgan to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday. Morgan showed lots of promise in his rookie season in 2025, but it's been a rough start to the 2026 campaign, as he's posted a 6.08 ERA and 15:11 K:BB over 13.1 innings. He'll be back in the majors at some point, but Morgan will try to get things ironed out at El Paso first.

Morgan retired only one batter and gave up four runs on four hits in a relief outing Sunday versus Arizona. Michael King started and pitched six strong frames for the Padres before turning the ball over to Morgan in the seventh. That didn't go well for San Diego, as Morgan yielded four straight one-out hits -- three singles and a grand slam -- to allow Arizona to cut its deficit from five runs to one. The Diamondbacks ended up scoring twice more in the inning to take a lead they never relinquished. Morgan began the campaign well with 10.1 consecutive scoreless frames despite a 10:7 K:BB over his first seven outings, but he's since given up at least two runs in each of his past three appearances. That's pushed his season numbers to a 5.68 ERA and 2.05 WHIP through 12.2 innings.

Padres manager Craig Stammen said Monday that Morgan will remain in a relief role in 2026, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports. Consideration was given to stretching Morgan out to be an option for the Padres' rotation, but the club has ultimately decided to keep him in the bullpen. Morgan held a 2.66 ERA and 50:23 K:BB over 47.1 regular-season innings for the Padres in 2025 and is pegged for a middle relief role in 2026.
