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

Shelved at High-A
High-A Lansing placed Morales on its 7-day injured list Friday with an unspecified injury, as the right-hander is currently in extended spring training getting built up, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per Mayo's report, Morales got started late in his offseason throwing program and will join Lansing soon enough, but that doesn't mean there wasn't some sort of arm issue for the 21-year-old during camp. Oakland's top minor-league pitcher, Morales climbed four levels of the minors last season, although he only logged 44 total innings.
