Begins rehab assignment
Morgan (knee) began a rehab assignment at the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Wednesday, yielding one hit and two walks with one strikeout in one-third of an inning, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Analysis
It's the first game action since late June for Morgan, who is coming back from left knee inflammation. If all goes well, the reliever could make a few more rehab appearances before rejoining the Padres' bullpen at some point in the latter portion of July.

Resumes throwing
Morgan (knee) began a throwing progression this week, per MLB.com.
Analysis
Morgan has been on the IL since late June due to soreness in his left knee. The righty reliever had been pitching pretty well prior to getting hurt, posting a 2.08 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with an 11:2 K:BB over 8.2 innings spanning seven appearances since the calendar flipped to June. Morgan isn't expected to return to San Diego by the All-Star break, but he could be activated before the end of July.
