Morrow had a strong start for the Padres this season. In his 5 games he pitched 33.1 innings and posted a 2-0 record with a 2.73 ERA.
On May 6 we wrote the following:
“Morrow has been suffering from some shoulder inflammation and the Padres feel it’s best to shut him down for a few days.
Morrow has been great so far this season. In his 5 starts he is 2-0 with a 2.73 ERA.
The trip to the disabled list is a precautionary measure and Brock believes that it will help the Padres later on in the season. With such a long season a quick trip to the DL in May can go a long way come August and September.
Padres fans are hoping it’s just quick trip as they appreciate his efforts so far this season.
As more information surfaces about Morrow and his progression we will keep you updated.”
