Morel went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two additional runs scored during the Mets' 15-14 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

Morel was brought in for the second inning and filled in at first base after Brett Baty was removed due to left knee pain. Morel answered the call by belting a two-run homer in the third inning to give the Mets an 8-0 lead before driving in another run in the seventh. He's served in a depth role for the Mets since being promoted from the minors in mid-August, but Morel could see a bump in playing time if Baty were to miss time.

The Mets selected Morel's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

Aug 17Rotowire

Morel inked a minor-league deal with the Mets in late June and has earned a promotion to the big club after slashing .321/.382/.716 with 12 home runs in only 31 contests with Syracuse. The 27-year-old began this season with the Marlins before being cut loose after managing a lowly .425 OPS in 22 contests. Morel could get a chance to play against some lefties.

The Mets are expected to call up Morel from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Morel will join the Mets ahead of their three-game home series versus the Padres. After signing a minor-league deal with the organization July 1, Morel slashed .321/.382/.716 with 12 home runs across 123 plate appearances at Triple-A Syracuse. He'll provide the Mets with depth at multiple infield and outfield spots and could settle into a regular spot in the lineup against left-handed pitching.

Morel agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Jun 30Rotowire

Morel was released by the Marlins last week after slashing an ugly .162/.219/.206 with a 38.4 percent strikeout rate across 73 plate appearances. The 27-year-old will report to Triple-A Syracuse for the time being, and his contract contains multiple opt-outs that he can exercise if he's not promoted to the majors by a certain date.

The Marlins released Morel on Friday, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.

Jun 27Rotowire

Morel was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville after clearing waivers Thursday, but the organization has now decided to part ways with him entirely. The 27-year-old outfielder slashed .162/.219/.206 across 73 plate appearances with Miami, but he should still be able to attract a minor-league deal in free agency.
