Phillies' Adam Morgan: Could transition to relief role

Manager Pete Mackanin said Morgan could be an option for the Phillies' bullpen this season, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Morgan is currently being stretched out as a starter in camp, but the Phillies don't have a need for him as a starter in the majors, and their Triple-A rotation is expected to be filled by younger prospects. Morgan struggled as a starter last season, going 2-11 with a 6.04 ERA and a 95:29 K:BB in 113.1 innings. If he ends up in the pen it would likely be in middle or long relief.
