Morejon's Shoulder Woes: Padres Await Game 4 Decision
7 Oct
Summary
- Adrian Morejon is uncertain for Game 4 due to shoulder 'stickiness'.
- Michael King pitched two innings in Game 3, covering for Morejon.
- Morejon was also unavailable for Game 2 after tweaking his shoulder.
Adrian Morejon's participation in Game 4 of the NLDS is uncertain as he continues to deal with shoulder discomfort. The San Diego Padres faced bullpen challenges in their Game 3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Manager Craig Stammen confirmed Morejon felt 'stickiness' in his shoulder, leading to his absence from the Game 3 roster.
Michael King, the starter for Game 2, was called upon to secure the final outs of Game 3. Morejon's inability to pitch also impacted Game 2. He had previously tweaked his shoulder during his outing in Game 1. The Padres are hopeful Morejon can be available for the upcoming do-or-die Game 4, emphasizing the need for all available arms.
The team is also awaiting news on Mason Miller, who went on paternity leave prior to Game 3. His potential return for Game 4 remains unclear, adding to the Padres' pitching concerns. Morejon is expected to do everything possible to be ready for another elimination game.
