LHP Adam Morgan will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Sunday's series finale against Colorado, though the team has yet to announce a corresponding roster move. Morgan, 1-7 with a 6.65 ERA in 14 games (12 starts) with the Phillies earlier this season, went 6-1 with a 3.04 ERA in eight games (seven starts) in the minors. He also faced the Rockies in his last start for the parent club on July 7, allowing six runs on nine hits in five innings. It is his only career outing against Colorado.

LHP Adam Morgan was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after the game. He allowed nine hits, including three homers, and six runs in five innings with no walks and four strikeouts. Morgan is 1-7 with a 6.65 ERA in 14 games, 12 starts, and has allowed 16 home runs in 66 1/3 innings. After the game, Morgan who threw 60 of 84 pitches for strikes, met for 35 minutes with manager Pete Mackanin and pitching coach Bob McClure in Mackanin's office. "He's up in the zone too much," Mackanin said. "Like we told him, half the battle is throwing strikes. And he certainly throws a lot of strikes. He's just got to throw more quality strikes."

LHP Adam Morgan has been demoted to the bullpen, Phillies manager Pete Mackanin announced Saturday. RHP Vincent Velasquez, who is scheduled to be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list Monday, will take Morgan's spot in the starting rotation. The 26-year-old has lost six in a row since his only win of the season on May 10. His 6.55 ERA is the fourth-highest in the National League among guys who have started 11 or more games.

RHP Adam Morgan received a no-decision, allowing five runs -- four earned -- on 11 hits and a walk in five innings. Morgan has allowed five runs or more in four of his last six starts and saw his season ERA bloom to 6.55. "There's not much I really have to say, the only thing I know to do is to keep going," Morgan said. "You go through these times and the only way to get out of them is to keep going."

LHP Adam Morgan dropped his sixth straight decision Friday night against Arizona, going 4 1/3 innings and allowing seven runs (four earned) and 10 hits, including three home runs. He stuck out eight, and didn't walk a batter. Staked to a 2-0 lead in the first, Morgan surrendered two two-out runs in the second -- on three two-out singles and two errors by second baseman Cesar Hernandez -- then gave up a leadoff homer to Yasmany Tomas in the fourth. Peter O'Brien and Tomas then went back to back in the fifth, with O'Brien's homer a three-run shot, ending Morgan's night. "Too many bad pitches," Mackanin said. "He has to keep the ball down in the zone. He hasn't been pitching well lately." Nor has anyone else. The Phillies have allowed 17 homers over their last four games, a franchise record for a four-game span, and 49 since May 20, most in the major leagues. "We need to work on making hitters uncomfortable," Morgan said. "I'm battling. I'm going through rough patches. Just have to keep going, believe in your stuff, which I do. You can't quit."

LHP Adam Morgan, Friday's starter, has lost his last five decisions. He pitched 6 2/3 innings in a no-decision against Washington on Sunday in his last start. He allowed three runs on five hits in that game, while striking out a career-high eight and walking three. He has never faced Arizona.

LHP Adam Morgan gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings Sunday in Washington. He did not figure in the decision as Washington won 5-4 with two runs in the last of the ninth. Morgan looked to be in trouble after he gave up three runs in the first two innings. "I bared down. I knew I wasn't going to quit," he said. "I tried to keep it simple. I think in the first couple of innings I was trying to be too fine and pick, and that's not who I am." Manager Pete Mackanin was impressed with how Morgan came back. "Morgan started off and looked so bad, and I thought we were in the bullpen early, and boy did he settle down," he said. "That's the best I've seen him pitch in two years, after that first inning. It's too bad we wasted such a good pitching performance by him and (David) Hernandez."

LHP Adam Morgan will start in the series finale Sunday in Washington. He is 1-5 with a 6.70 ERA this year for the Phillies.

LHP Adam Morgan saw his personal losing streak reach five when he was charged with a 6-4 loss to the Cubs on Monday, in which he went six innings and allowed three runs and eight hits while striking out five. He didn't walk a batter. "I was making mistakes in the first inning," he said. "After that, I knew what I was doing wrong." He surrendered a leadoff double to Dexter Fowler, then an RBI ground-rule double to Kris Bryant with one out. He also gave up a two-run homer to Jason Heyward in the fourth. "He knows he has to pitch better and he did today, which was good to see," manager Pete Mackanin said. "But you have to make good pitches every inning."

LHP Adam Morgan dropped his fourth straight start Wednesday against Washington, going six innings and allowing six runs and nine hits while striking out six. He didn't walk a batter, but Wilson Ramos and Danny Espinosa both homered off him in Washington's four-run sixth inning. "He seems he's on the verge of getting through but then he makes too many mistakes," manager Pete Mackanin said. "He's got stuff but in order to be successful you can't make mistakes. You have to keep pitches down, change speeds. He has the stuff. He has the instincts to do that but this is a result-oriented business."

LHP Adam Morgan, Wednesday's starter, ran his losing streak to three when he was beaten by the Cubs his last time out. He lasted just four innings in that one, allowing six runs on eight hits while striking out three and walking one. He has never faced Washington.

LHP Adam Morgan (1-3) allowed six runs on eight hits while walking one and striking out three in four-plus inning of work Friday. He's now allowed six runs or more in two of his last three starts and gave up a season-high three home runs. "Morgan didn't have it today," said Phillies manager Pete Mackanin. "He threw some good changeups but quite a few bad ones. He really didn't have command of any of his pitches and he kind of struggled to make pitches when he needed to."

LHP Adam Morgan suffered his second loss in a row on Saturday at the hands of the Atlanta Braves.He gave up only two runs in six innings but taking the loss in a 2-0 decision. Morgan (1-2, 5.61) struggled initially after rain began midway through his start, giving up both runs in the fourth inning just after the precipitation started, but otherwise was solid in giving up just four hits and two walks.

LHP Adam Morgan, Saturday's starter, was tagged with a 9-4 loss to Cincinnati his last time out, going 3 2/3 innings and allowing seven runs on eight hits while striking out one and walking three. He beat Atlanta earlier this season, his only victory to date, and in four career starts against the Braves has gone 1-3 with a 3.24 ERA.

LHP Adam Morgan struggled mightily in a loss to Cincinnati on Sunday, giving up seven runs on eight hits in 3 2/3 innings, matching his shortest career outing. His three walks led the way as the Phillies staff set a season high with seven free passes given to the Reds, who put 22 men on base in the game. "Last year, he showed good command and control. This year so far, he hasn't had that consistency," Phillies manager Pete Mackanin said. "I'm concerned, but I know he's a better pitcher than he showed."

LHP Adam Morgan will make his fourth start of the season for the Phillies on Sunday against the Reds. He was a bit shaky in his first two outings but was in control last time out against Atlanta when he allowed one earned run in seven innings.

LHP Adam Morgan pitched a career-best seven innings and allowed one run on four hits and one walk, with four strikeouts. Morgan, who grew up in Atlanta, also beat his former home team for the first time in four tries. He had gone five starts without a win.

LHP Adam Morgan, the Phillies' third-round pick in 2011, will pitch Tuesday against his hometown team, the Braves. Morgan, a native of Marietta, Ga., is 0-3 in his career against Atlanta. He had rotator-cuff surgery and missed the 2014 season. He was 5-7 with a 4.48 ERA last year when he made his major league debut. This year, Morgan, 26, is 0-0 with a 6.00 ERA in two starts.

LHP Adam Morgan sailed through four scoreless innings, but didn't retire any of his five hitters in the fifth and left with a no-decision. Morgan allowed six hits and three runs in his stint, walking two and fanning two. Morgan refused to use more than seven minutes of replay-review delays as an excuse, saying that he got ahead of hitters and couldn't finish them off.

LHP Adam Morgan went five innings in his season debut Friday night against Cleveland and took a no-decision, allowing three runs and five hits while striking out a career-high seven and walking one. He was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley earlier in the day, and took the spot in the rotation previously occupied by Charlie Morton, who was lost for the season with a torn hamstring. Manager Pete Mackanin said Morgan "did a pretty decent job" but made some mistakes, notably when he left a slider high in the strike zone to Jason Kipnis in the fifth inning, resulting in a two-run homer. "I realize the mistakes I made, and I can go forward from there," Morgan said. "It's definitely one to build off of."
