Yankees send Eli Morgan to Triple-A ahead of Blue Jays finale

The New York Yankees sent reliever Eli Morgan to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before the series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays. This move comes after the Yankees signed Morgan to a minor league contract following a tumultuous August, during which he was designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals. The Yankees also faced defeat to the Blue Jays on Saturday, dropping the game 4-3 and ending their five-game winning streak. New York is currently three games ahead of the Boston Red Sox in the American League Wild Card race. Morgan had recorded a solid performance in the minors, boasting a 1.40 ERA in Triple-A while struggling in the majors with a 5.12 ERA this season.
