2024 Fantasy Outlook
A 20-year-old righty out of Cuba, Morales received $3 million when he signed in January of 2023. It's very rare to see a prospect play at four levels of the minors in a season, but Morales opened the year with four appearances in the Dominican Summer League and followed that up with three starts in the Arizona Complex League. He was then promoted to Single-A Stockton for five starts before closing the year with a pair of starts at High-A. Morales was old for a DSL pitcher, but he was young for the Midwest League, so his overall body of work (2.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 53 strikeouts in 44 innings) tells a pretty fair story. Known for his projectable 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame and mid-90s fastball, Morales should spend a good chunk of his age-21 season at Double-A. Read Past Outlooks

High-A Lansing will activate Morales (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday, baseball writer Francys Romero reports.
ANALYSIS
Morales opened the season on the IL with an previously unknown issue, but Romero's report relays that the 21-year-old right-hander was still working through some shoulder discomfort that had cropped up late in the 2023 campaign. The injury ultimately cost Morales just under a month of game action, but the Athletics were likely planning to limit his innings count in 2024 anyway. Morales made just two starts for Lansing last season, giving up three earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight over 7.2 innings.
