Franklin Morales has been Colorado's closer since Huston Street went down, and it's been a rocky road. He's racked up eight strikeouts and ten free passes in 11 innings, and he's blown two saves while collecting an 0-3 record. This news, then, almost comes as a relief:
Rockies Interim Closer Franklin Morales Placed On DL With Weak Shoulder
Rockies placed LHP Franklin Morales on the 15-day disabled list with left shoulder weakness.
Morales’ shoulder condition explains why Manny Corpas got the ball in the ninth inning on Monday night. The Rockies don’t intend on scheduling an MRI, suggesting that the injury isn’t that bad, but it’s clearly limited Morales of late.
Corpas will pick up whatever save opportunities arise until Street returns later this month. Read more at Purple Row.
