San Diego Padres right-handed reliever David Morgan will serve as the team's opener for Sunday's series finale against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, with left-hander Kyler Hart working as the bulk reliever behind Morgan, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Although neither Morgan nor Hart will be recommended as fantasy streamers in this one, Hart has slightly more appeal because he should go longer in the series finale. Hart has made a total of 15 starts with the Padres and Triple-A El Paso in 2025, although he's worked exclusively as a reliever in the minors since the All-Star break in mid-July. The former 19th-round pick by the Boston Red Sox in 2016 has a 5.29 ERA (5.78 FIP) and 1.21 WHIP with only 21 strikeouts and seven walks in 32 1/3 innings over his nine outings (six starts) with the Friars this year.

San Diego Padres relief pitcher David Morgan will serve as the opener ahead of Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. It looks like the Padres have decided to go bullpen-game here. The expectation is that Morgan will throw an inning or two before Kyle Hart takes over for the bulk of the innings. Morgan has been a fairly decent option out of the bullpen, but doesn't offer much streaming upside as an opener. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Sunday's slate.
