Christopher Morel Sitting Out On Wednesday

Chicago Cubs infielder Christopher Morel is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. The 24-year-old will hit the bench for what appears to be a routine rest day. Morel is in the middle of a 3-for-26 slump at the plate, so it's not shocking to see the Cubs giving him the day off. Jeimer Candelario (back) will make his return and play first base, while Miles Mastrobuoni covers third base versus right-hander Darius Vines on Wednesday.

Christopher Morel Out Again Thursday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Christopher Morel will start on the bench again on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The left-handed-hitting Mike Tauchman will start in right field and will hit ninth for the Cubs against Pirates left-hander Rob Zastryzny. Seiya Suzuki is serving as the designated hitter and is batting fifth. Morel is sitting for the second straight game while struggling in the month of August, going 9-for-66 (.136) with three home runs, three doubles, 11 RBI, 26 strikeouts and five runs scored in 19 games (17 starts). The 24-year-old has provided nice power in deeper leagues with 19 home runs and 60 RBI in only 82 games in his second year in the big leagues, but he's a streaky and inconsistent hitter as well.

Christopher Morel Taking A Seat Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Christopher Morel is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Ian Happ is starting in left field and batting third, while Yan Gomes is serving as the designated hitter and batting fifth in the lineup against Braves left-hander Max Fried. Morel is having a strong season in his second year in the big leagues, slashing .282/.342/.552 with an .894 OPS, 17 home runs, 12 doubles, a triple,, 52 RBI, four stolen bases and 47 runs scored in 65 games played. He's currently riding a 10-game hitting streak in which he's gone 14-for-40 (.350) with two long balls, four doubles, 10 RBI, two steals and nine runs scored. Morel should be back in Chicago's starting lineup on Saturday.

Christopher Morel Fills Up Stat Sheet Thursday

Chicago Cubs infielder Christopher Morel had a nice game on Thursday, going 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, three runs scored, and two RBI in a 10-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Morel has been a solid contributor this season since his call-up in early May and although he has slowed down a bit, he has maintained an .890 OPS. Having seen what he can do when he gets hot (nine homers in his first 12 games), and with a relatively safe floor otherwise, Morel should be rostered in almost all formats, excluding shallow points leagues where his strikeout issues make him fringy.

Christopher Morel Returns To Face Nationals

Chicago Cubs infielder Christopher Morel (neck) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting Washington Nationals and right-hander Trevor Williams, starting at second base and batting sixth. Morel was scratched from Chicago's lineup on Tuesday due to neck tightness, but he'll return just a day later. The 24-year-old Dominican went on a homer binge earlier this year when he was called up from the minors. He's slowed down in terms of the over-the-fence power, but he's still hitting a respectable .276/.327/.556 with an .883 OPS, 15 home runs, 41 RBI and 37 runs in his second major-league season. Morel hasn't homered since July 2 but has gone 14-for-51 (.275) with three doubles, seven RBI, a steal and seven runs scored in 13 games in July to this point.
