Following surgery and changes to how pitchers can be utilized, a long-standing member of the Philadelphia Phillies’ staff could be a non-tender candidate this offseason.
The Phillies announced Friday that Adam Morgan underwent a surgery on the flexor tendon in his throwing elbow that would keep him out between six and nine months.
Morgan, who debuted in 2015, currently stands as the second-longest-tenured member of the Phillies behind fellow reliever Héctor Neris. This surgery, however, could bring an end to his time with the club.
The left-hander has a 4.84 ERA in 199 appearances over the past six seasons.
