Royals' Eli Morgan: Back in majors
The Royals recalled Morgan from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday.
Morgan came up from Triple-A as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Brewers, during which he gave up a hit and a walk while striking out five batters over three shutout innings. He'll now return to Kansas City alongside Mitch Spence to give the Royals a couple of fresh bullpen arms, replacing Luinder Avila and Steven Cruz.

Royals' Eli Morgan: Back to Triple-A after twin bill
The Royals returned Morgan to Triple-A Omaha following Saturday's doubleheader with the Brewers.
Morgan will head back to Omaha following a dominant relief outing in his Royals debut Saturday. After Kansas City called up the veteran righty from Omaha ahead of the second game of the twin bill and designated him as its 27th man, Morgan proceeded to strike out five batters while allowing two baserunners over three scoreless frames en route to earning his second career save in the Royals' 8-2 win.

Royals' Eli Morgan: Optioned after getting 40-man spot
The Royals selected Morgan's contract from Triple-A Omaha and optioned him to Omaha on Wednesday.
The Royals will give Morgan a spot on the 40-man roster -- presumably to keep him from opting out of his minor-league deal -- but will stash him in the minors. Morgan had a rough 2025 season with the Cubs, but he posted a 3.27 ERA from 2022-to-2024 out of the Guardians' bullpen.

Royals' Eli Morgan: Gets look from KC
Morgan signed a minor-league contract, which includes an invitation to spring training, with the Royals on Thursday.
Morgan had a few strong seasons in Cleveland, but struggled with both injuries and his performance as a member of the Cubs in 2025. If he regains his past form, he could have a path to a spot in the Royals' bullpen to begin the new campaign.

Eli Morgan: Parts ways with Cubs
The Cubs non-tendered Morgan on Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Morgan gave up 10 earned runs over just 7.1 innings with the Cubs before landing on the injured list in mid-April with an elbow impingement. He wasn't able to recover in time to make another appearance in the big leagues during the regular season, and he'll now look to free agency for his next gig. The 29-year-old righty is just one year removed from recording a 1.93 ERA over 42 innings with the Guarduans, so he may still attract a fair amount of interest in the open market.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Activated and optioned
The Cubs activated Morgan (elbow) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday.
Morgan had been on the shelf since mid-April with an elbow impingement. He's healthy again after submitting a 1.69 ERA in 10.2 innings over a nine-appearance rehab assignment at Iowa, but he'll end up sticking around at the Triple-A level since the Cubs don't have room for him in the big-league bullpen at the moment.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Begins rehab assignment
Morgan (elbow) tossed a perfect inning in his first rehab appearance with High-A South Bend on Wednesday.
Morgan initially went down with a right elbow impingement in mid-April and then suffered a setback while on his initial rehab assignment in mid-June. He's now getting back on track and could rejoin the Cubs' bullpen around Sept. 1 if all goes well.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Making progress in rehab
Morgan (elbow) has built back up to throwing off a mound, but he's without a definitive target date for a return from the 60-day injured list, MLB.com reports.
Morgan is dealing with a right elbow impingement, which has kept him out since the middle of April. After beginning a rehab assignment in June, the veteran reliever suffered a setback, and he's been slowly building himself back up since then. While his ability to throw off a mound is a good sign, Morgan doesn't appear particularly close to returning from the 60-day injured list.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Resumes rehab assignment
Morgan (elbow) began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Thursday.
Morgan previously kicked off a rehab assignment in mid-June, only to be pulled off the assignment due to a setback. The right-hander has apparently resumed throwing recently without issue, so he'll now restart his assignment in Arizona and will likely eventually move up to Triple-A Iowa before getting activated from the 60-day injured list.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Suffers setback during rehab
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Thursday that Morgan (elbow) is seeking a second opinion on his injury after he suffered a setback during his second rehab appearance with Triple-A Iowa on June 17, MLB.com reports.
Counsell didn't go into specifics regarding a treatment plan for Morgan, but the fact that the right-hander requires a second opinion suggests that surgery could be on the table. Morgan has been on the injured list since April 15 due to right elbow neuritis.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Begins rehab assignment
Morgan (elbow) struck out two over a perfect inning in his rehab appearance Saturday in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
Morgan has been sidelined since the middle of April due to the right elbow injury, so he'll need several rehab appearances before being activated from the 60-day injured list. He'll likely return to a low-leverage role in the Chicago bullpen once he proves he's healthy.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Moved to 60-day IL
The Cubs transferred Morgan (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
A right elbow impingement sent Morgan to the injured list April 15, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until at least mid-June. The 28-year-old southpaw will be replaced by Cade Horton on the 40-man roster.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Shut down for 2-to-3 weeks
Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Wednesday that Morgan will be shut down from throwing for 2-to-3 weeks after being diagnosed with right elbow neuritis, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
It's not clear whether that 2-to-3 week clock started last week when Morgan first went on the 15-day injured list, or this week when Counsell was asked about the reliever. Either way, Morgan will not throw for a bit longer and then will have to be built back up, so he figures to be sidelined for several more weeks.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Placed on injured list
The Cubs placed Morgan on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow impingement, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.
Morgan's elbow forced him to make a premature exit from Monday's game. He'll now be forced to miss another couple of weeks as he moves to the IL, though it remains unknown if he'll require more than a minimum-length stay. Luke Little and Daniel Palencia will come up from Triple-A Iowa to help make up for the loss of Morgan and Nate Pearson, who was optioned to Iowa on Tuesday.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Nursing elbow issue
Morgan left Monday's game against the Padres due to a right elbow injury, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Morgan didn't look himself during Monday's appearance, surrendering four runs on three hits and one walk before walking off with the trainer. He's likely headed for further evaluation to determine whether a trip to the injured list is necessary.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Implodes in loss Sunday
Morgan (0-1) allowed six runs on six hits and a walk while retiring only two batters to take the loss Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
Morgan, who had tossed three scoreless innings of relief across two appearances to start the season, quickly saw his ERA climb to 14.73 with the awful outing. The righty allowed only nine earned runs in 42 innings with Cleveland all of last year as he posted a 1.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP for the Guardians. Morgan should be able to right the ship, though his ERA may take a while to recover.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Recalled from Triple-A

Morgan was optioned last week, but injuries to others opened up a spot for his return. He'll fill a middle-relief role.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Sent to Triple-A
The Cubs optioned Morgan to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Ryan Herrera of JustBaseball.com reports.
Morgan was on the roster for the two-game series versus the Dodgers in Tokyo, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings in the first contest. However, he will not be part of the roster for the Cubs' domestic opener next week. Morgan was acquired from the Guardians via trade over the offseason.

Cubs' Eli Morgan: Could be odd man out
Morgan may get squeezed from the Cubs' Opening Day roster and start the season at Triple-A Iowa instead , Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Morgan was effective last year for Cleveland, posting a 1.93 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 42 regular-season innings, though he still has a minor-league option remaining and could be the odd man out as a result. Even if the righty begins the year in the minors, he has enough talent to be a valuable addition to the Cubs' bullpen at some point, but he likely won't see save opportunities with Ryan Pressly and Porter Hodge around.
