Adrian Morejon Kicks Off Two-Start Week
4 years agoSan Diego Padres starter Adrian Morejon faces off against the San Francisco Giants Monday night and lines up for a two-start week. With Dinelson Lamet (biceps) out. Morejon earned the vacant rotation spot with a 3.21 ERA this spring despite a 1.57 WHIP. The 22-year-old former prospect has tossed 27 ⅓ big league frames over the past two seasons with mixed results, holding a 6.26 ERA and 28 percent strikeout rate. If the outing goes well, Morejon will likely pitch again Sunday as the Friars visit the Texas Rangers. The southpaw possesses intriguing upside with a four pitch mix but has failed to surpass three innings in any of his 14 career appearances. With a chance that he won't qualify for a potential victory, Morejon is a risky DFS proposition to start the week.
