2024 Fantasy Outlook
Morejon has been plagued by injuries throughout his young career and 2023 was no different. The 24-year-old southpaw suffered a left elbow sprain during spring training that sidelined him until late-May. He was activated in June, then immediately optioned to the minors where he struggled with his control. Morejon was summoned back to the majors later that month and made eight appearances before a knee strain kept him out of action for another month. He began rehabbing in the minors towards the end of the campaign, but did not return to the Padres bullpen. Morejon has youth on his side, but his extensive injury history, variety of health issues and limited track record in the majors makes him a risky bet for 2024 fantasy success. Read Past Outlooks
Converts second save
Morejon allowed an unearned run over one inning without giving up a hit or a walk, earning the save in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Regular closer Robert Suarez worked the ninth inning and took a blown save, but the Padres were able to gain the lead in the 10th. Morejon then closed things out, earning his second career save, both of which have come over his last 15 appearances. In that span, he's allowed seven runs (six earned) across 13.2 innings. The southpaw is at a 3.00 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB with 10 holds through 60 innings this year, emerging as an option for high-leverage work in a talented Padres bullpen.

Morejon returned last June from his 2021 Tommy John surgery. The southpaw made just three appearances as a multi-inning reliever before experiencing shoulder inflammation that held him out for a little less than a month. Morejon went on to complete a career-high 34 innings across 26 appearances with a 4.24 ERA (3.87 FIP), 1.18 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB. He throws mostly fastballs (69% usage) with the occasional slider (13%), curve (13%) and changeup (4%), so it appears the soon-to-be 24-year-old still has some work to do on his secondary offerings. Morejon's role for 2023 has yet to be announced, but he figures to split time between the starting rotation and bullpen in order to manage his workload. He's flashed skills that suggest a breakout could eventually come, but there's still room to grow and health has not yet been on his side.
