Morin (elbow) was reinstated from the 45-day injured list and outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday.
Morin suffered a UCL injury in his right elbow in August and missed most of the season as a result of the injury. The right-hander fired four scoreless innings prior to being shut down, but he's expected to become a free agent after his outright assignment.

Marlins' Mike Morin: Transferred to 45-day IL
Rotowire
Morin (elbow) was transferred to the 45-day injured list Tuesday.
Morin landed on the injured list with a UCL injury in his right elbow Friday. His move to the 45-day injured list means that he will likely miss the remainder of the regular season, and the transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster. The right-hander was effective over a limited sample this season, firing four scoreless innings while allowing one hit and one walk. He recorded two strikeouts.

Marlins' Mike Morin: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
Morin was placed on the 10-day injured list with a UCL injury in his right elbow Friday.
Morin left Wednesday's game with the injury. While the transaction was made retroactive to Thursday, meaning he'll be eligible to return Aug. 23, it seems unlikely that he'll be able to do so, given that the Marlins' update specified that the injury was to his UCL. The exact nature of the injury is not yet clear. Josh D. Smith was recalled in a corresponding move.

Marlins' Mike Morin: Earns win in season debut
Rotowire
Morin (1-0) earned the win Thursday against the Orioles after pitching two scoreless innings out of the bullpen.
Morin didn't allow any hits or walks but he also didn't strike out anyone, needing just 19 pitches (13 strikes) to record six outs. This was the first appearance of the season for the 29-year-old right-hander, who posted a 4.62 ERA in 50.2 relief innings last season between the Twins and Phillies.

Marlins' Mike Morin: Claimed by Marlins
Rotowire
Morin was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Morin is expected to join Miami's big-league roster ahead of their next game, the date of which remains uncertain given the team's coronavirus outbreak. Morin, who was designated for assignment by the Brewers, owns a career 4.65 ERA in 224.2 big-league innings, all of which have come in relief.

Brewers' Mike Morin: Locks up roster spot
Rotowire
Morin will open the season on the Brewers' 30-man roster.
Morin joined the Brewers on a minor-league contract over the offseason, and he showed enough to break camp with the big club. Morin has appeared in 238 big-league games, but he was not particularly effective the last several years, so don't expect him to occupy a key role in the Brewers' bullpen.

Brewers' Mike Morin: Invited to Brewers' camp
Rotowire
Morin was invited to the Brewers' big-league camp Wednesday.
Morin finished last season with a 4.62 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 50.2 innings pitched, the lowest marks since his rookie season in 2014. If the right-hander is able to impress the big-league coaching staff this spring, he is a candidate to provide depth to a Brewers bullpen that projects to include several new faces this season.

Mike Morin: Heads to free agency
Rotowire
Morin refused an outright assignment to the minors Monday and became a free agent.
Morin finished the season with a playable 4.62 ERA despite striking out just 12.4 percent of opposing batters. He's unlikely to have a particularly busy market this offseason.

Phillies' Mike Morin: Gets win in extra innings
Rotowire
Morin (1-0) threw a pair of scoreless innings, walking one and allowing two hits, to earn the win Monday against the Pirates.
Morin was called on to keep the score tied in the 10th inning after Hector Neris blew the save in the ninth. He worked around one baserunner in the 10th and a pair in the 11th to keep the game scoreless before Sean Rodriguez's walkoff homer gave the Phillies the win. Morin's ERA now sits at a solid 3.12 in 40.1 innings with the Phillies and Twins despite a very low 13.1 percent strikeout rate.

Phillies' Mike Morin: Shipped to Philadelphia
Rotowire
The Phillies acquired Morin from the Twins on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
Morin has no minor-league options remaining, so he'll step into the big-league bullpen right away for Philadelphia after being designated for assignment by the Twins earlier this week. Over his 23 outings with Minnesota, the right-hander posted a 3.18 ERA and 0.97 WHIP but struck out only 11 batters across 22.2 innings. The Phillies opened up a spot for Morin on the 40-man roster by shifting Seranthony Dominguez (elbow) to the 60-day injured list.

Twins' Mike Morin: Earns first save of 2019
Rotowire
Morin gave up two hits but recorded his first save of the season in an 8-7 victory against the Angels on Wednesday.
Blake Parker and Taylor Rogers had split the saves coming into the day, but Rogers pitched each of the last two days, and the Twins elected to throw Parker in the eighth. Morin has pitched well, posting a 1.80 ERA and 0.60 WHIP in five innings, but he's been in the majors for only two weeks, so it's premature to think he is going to supplant Parker and Rogers for save opportunities.

Twins' Mike Morin: Called up to bigs
Rotowire
The Twins selected Morin's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.
Morin had a 2.25 ERA with one save and a 12:3 K:BB ration in 12 innings at Triple-A. He'll be used in middle relief. The journeyman has had strong strikeout rates at Triple-A the past two seasons, but hasn't been able to translate that improvement into success in the majors.

Twins' Mike Morin: Continues strong spring
Rotowire
Morin threw a scoreless inning in Friday's spring training win over Baltimore. He's thrown seven scoreless innings with six strikeouts and one walk this spring.
Morin is a long shot to make the major-league roster, but his strong spring could get him consideration for a promotion early in the spring if he stays hot at Triple-A.

Twins' Michael Morin: Signs minors deal with Twins
Rotowire
Morin signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Tuesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Darren Wolfson of ESPN 1500 reports.
Morin was with the Mariners in 2018 and allowed three runs over four major-league innings. Most of his season was spent at Triple-A Tacoma, where the 27-year-old accumulated a 3.86 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 52:13 K:BB over 53.2 innings. A strong spring training could help Morin earn a bullpen role on the Opening Day roster, but he's more likely to serve as minor-league pitching depth to start the season.

Morin was designated for assignment and outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma in mid-June, where he has a 3.60 ERA and 1.20 WHIP with 36 strikeouts over 35 innings. The 27-year-old will likely take up a low-leverage role as the Mariners approach the All-Star break.

Morin was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Morin will add a little extra depth to the Mariners' bullpen after the club placed Juan Nicasio (knee) and Dan Altavilla (elbow) on the 10-day DL prior to Friday's contest. Expect to see Morin utilized in low-leverage situations, as he is yet to pitch in the big leagues this season.

Rotowire
Morin was moved from the Mariners' spring training to minor-league camp Sunday.
Morin threw a combined 20 innings over 16 games between the Angels and Royals last season, during which he scraped together a lackluster 7.20 ERA and 1.70 WHIP. His subpar performance continued this spring, as he allowed seven runs over just 5.1 innings (six games).

Morin was claimed off waivers by Seattle on Friday.
Morin will head to his third different organization within the last calendar year after spending time with the Angels and Kansas City in 2017. During the course of the year, he only pitched in 16 games as a reliever, accumulating a 7.20 ERA and 16:5 K:BB. The 26-year-old will look to find a role in the Mariners' bullpen this spring.
