The Padres extended Morejon a one-year, $23.15 million qualifying offer Monday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. Morejon has logged a 2.58 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 27.3 percent strikeout rate and 7.3 percent walk rate over the last three regular seasons for the Padres. The left-hander has been used exclusively as a reliever during that time, but there could be teams interested in pursuing him as a starting pitcher this winter. If Morejon does wind up landing a deal with another team, the Padres would receive draft pick compensation.

Padres manager Craig Stammen said after Tuesday's NLDS Game 3 win over the Brewers that Morejon was unavailable to pitch in the contest due to "stickiness in his shoulder," AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. With Morejon and Mason Miller (paternity) unavailable, Michael King closed out Tuesday's victory. Morejon's shoulder issue appears to be minor, as Stammen said the left-hander could be ready to pitch in Game 4, if needed. The southpaw has allowed one run with a 2:0 K:BB over four innings in two appearances this postseason.

Morejon struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals. Both Mason Miller and Morejon had pitched the last two days. Miller was given rest, while Morejon retired the side on seven pitches to convert his third save this season. September has been a little bumpy for Morejon so far -- he's allowed five runs (four earned) over 4.2 innings this month. He's at a 2.86 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 96:24 K:BB through 78.2 innings while adding 23 holds and five blown saves in a setup role.

Morejon picked up the save in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out three over 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing no hits or walks while hitting a batter. With Mason Miller unavailable, Morejon stepped into the closer role and recorded his second save of the season, tallying four outs to finish off the Giants. The 27-year-old hasn't allowed an earned run over his past seven outings spanning eight innings, allowing four hits while posting an 11:2 K:BB during that stretch. Through 60 innings (52 appearances) in 2026, Morejon owns an 8-2 record with a 3.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 70:15 K:BB and 17 holds as the Padres' top left-handed reliever.

Morejon (8-2) earned the win over Miami on Friday, pitching a scoreless 1.1 innings while walking one and striking out two.

The Padres went on to score two unanswered runs and lined Morejon up for the win. On the season, the left-hander has posted a 3.25 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 63:14 K:BB in 55.1 innings.
