Kade Morris called up by Athletics ahead of his big league debut

Kade Morris, the #12 prospect in the Athletics organization, has been promoted to the big leagues and is expected to make his MLB debut soon. Currently, the Athletics are struggling at 28-31, tied for second in the AL West, following a tough homestand. Morris has performed consistently at Triple-A Las Vegas, with a record of 5-3 and a 4.45 ERA in 11 starts this season. His recent performances have been strong, prompting the Athletics to give him a chance amidst injuries in their starting rotation. Morris may take the mound for the first time in an Athletics uniform in their upcoming series against the Cubs.
