Availability
The Athletics have optioned right-hander Luis Morales to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Fantasy Impact
Morales has been touched for 10 earned runs in two starts spanning 7 1/3 innings to begin the season in the big leagues. The 23-year-old will get a chance to regroup with Vegas, while Joel Kuhnel was brought up from Triple-A to take his spot on the active roster.
Luis Morales allowed five earned runs on eight hits and six walks while striking out none over three innings in Saturday's loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Morales continues a disappointing start to the season on the mound, allowing five runs while failing to reach the fifth inning in each of his first two starts. After the rough outing, the right-hander carries a 12.27 ERA and 2.86 WHIP with an 0-2 record through two starts and can remain out of lineups in all formats as part of a dismal Athletics rotation to begin the season.
Luis Morales allowed five earned runs on five hits while also striking out five and walking two over 4 1/3 innings in an A's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jays Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Morales struggled to fool a prolific Toronto lineup, allowing three home runs in his first start on the mound in 2026. The 23-year-old is one of many questionable options in the rotation to begin the season for manager Mark Kotsay after recording a 1.15 WHIP and 3.14 ERA in 10 appearances (4-3, 43 strikeouts) on the mound during the 2025 season.
Luis Morales is scheduled to start on the mound in the third game of the season for the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Morales will toe the rubber in the series finale for manager Mark Kotsay, facing lefty Eric Lauer and a revamped Toronto Blue Jays lineup. The right-hander had a mostly steady 2025 for the Athletics, carrying a 1.15 WHIP and 3.14 ERA over 10 appearances (4-3, 43 strikeouts) on the mound.
Luis Morales allowed two earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five over 4 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
The right-hander continues a mostly steady stretch on the mound, allowing less than three runs in three of his last five starts for the Athletics. After yesterday’s performance, Morales now has a 3.14 ERA and 1.15 WHIP to go with a 4-3 record across nine starts this season.
