Kade Morris of the Athletics Gets the Call to the Majors
Dylan Quinn, who covers the Athletics via Sports Illustrated, reported Sunday that the Athletics are promoting their 12th-ranked prospect, Kade Morris. Morris was acquired from the Mets in the Paul Blackburn trade and now joins the A's rotation. This news comes after it was announced that Jacob Lopez would be heading to Triple-A after Sunday's game against the Yankees. Morris, a former 2023 third-round pick, has not been very good at Triple-A this season, with a 4.45 ERA and 1.47 WHIP to go along with a 7.27 K/9, but the Athletics have seen enough from Lopez's 6.75 ERA. Last season, across Double-A and Triple-A, Morris posted a 4.35 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with a 7.68 K/9, similar to his performance thus far in 2026. Morris features a fastball that can reach 97 mph and good armside run, generating a lot of ground balls. Morris should not be on the fantasy radar for now, but he has the opportunity to make the first leap to the Major League level and showcase what he can bring, which is worth monitoring in the fantasy landscape.
