5 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Adam Morgan threw another scoreless inning with a walk and two strikeouts vs the Pirates Sunday afternoon. Morgan has now gone seven appearances in a row without allowing a run and has taken over the eighth-inning role for the Phillies. Manager Gabe Kapler is known for non-traditional bullpen usage, but this year has primarily used Hector Neris as the closer. Neris, however, has given up runs in four of his last six appearances and is facing a three-game suspension for plunking David Freese last week. Morgan has struck out almost a batter per inning this season with a 0.94 WHIP and 3.38 ERA which is supported by a 3.62 FIP. He's worth a look in leagues where saves are a category, especially with the trade deadline looming.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
