Morgan was in the majors to begin the season. He'll continue to move up and down all season between the majors and Triple-A.

Eli Morgan struck out five batters while allowing one hit and one walk over three scoreless frames to earn the save in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Brewers.

Morgan looked solid in his long relief role, allowing only one walk and three hard-hit balls, but he's already been sent back down to Triple-A. He should probably get another look in the Royals' bullpen if there are any future injuries.

Eli Morgan has agreed to a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals. The righthander gets an invitation to Spring Training as part of the contract.

Fantasy Impact

Morgan suffered through a disappointing and injury-plagued season with the Cubs in 2025, pitching to a 12.27 ERA in seven outings with Chicago before missing most of the rest of the year with an elbow impingement. Morgan has had success in the majors as he was a valuable part of Cleveland's bullpen from 2022-24. Just two years ago, Morgan posted a 1.93 ERA in 42 innings with the Guardians. He will look to resurrect his career in 2026 and could make the opening day roster in Kansas City as a middle reliever.

Eli Morgan has begun throwing off a mound.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a setback with his right elbow on June 17, Morgan is progressing. After receiving positive feedback, he resumed his throwing program and has now built back up to throwing off a mound. A timeline for his return has not yet been established.

The Chicago Cubs sent Eli Morgan on a rehab assignment with the ACL Cubs on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Morgan began a rehab assignment on June 17, but it was paused due to a setback. He's been sidelined since April 15 with a right elbow impingement and will likely require multiple rehab outings before being activated from the injured list.
