The Yankees designated Morris for assignment on Sunday.

An intriguing pitching prospect as a member of the Guardians organization a few years ago, Morris was never able to show enough durability to hold up a starter, and he hasn't had success as a reliever with the Yankees. The 27-year-old righty had a 4.25 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 42 strikeouts in 36 innings over 24 appearances for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
