The Giants are set to designate righty Bryan Morris for assignment, according to Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle (via Twitter). Lefty Steven Okert will be called up to take the open roster spot.
Morris, 30, owns an unsightly 6.43 ERA through his 21 frames on the year. He has struck out 6.4 and walked 4.7 batters per nine while showing an average fastball of just over 93 mph — well off his peak. Of course, it’s promising to see that Morris is healthy after shoulder issues ended his time with the Marlins.
Would love to have him back in Pittsburgh
wow, they seemed to have a lot of hope wound up in morris, maybe the FO is just assuming that if you have been around the block and not working out, DFA and give someone younger from the system a chance
His tenure with Miami, especially his 2016 season, ended due to back surgery.
Yeah when the braves pounded him, he was sitting in the dugout with the look, like “I’m going to be gone tomorrow”.
