Morgan will compete for the fifth spot in the Phillies rotation this spring, the team's official site reports.

Analysis:

Morgan went 5-7 with a 4.48 ERA and a 49:17 K:BB in 84.1 innings for the Phillies last season. He will compete with Vincent Velasquez, Brett Oberholtzer, David Buchanan, Alec Asher and Severino Gonzalez this spring. He will probably need Velasquez and Oberholtzer to struggle this spring to have a real shot at a rotation spot.
