Analysis:
Morrow and Odrisamer Despaigne, both scheduled to pitch Friday, are considered the top candidates to win the fifth starter spot in San Diego's rotation. Robbie Erlin and Matt Wisler were also thought to be in the mix heading into camp. Morrow's big-league experience helps his case, but he'll need to prove he can stay healthy to win the job outright.
