A.J. Morris: Throws five shutout innings against Venezuela in WBC
Morris threw five hitless innings and allowed just one walk with five strikeouts in a no-decision in Monday's World Baseball Classic game against Venezuela.
Morris was dominant against a fantastic lineup. Venezuela's 3-4-5-6 of Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Rougned Odor and Carlos Gonzalez could contend with the heart of the order of any major league squad. Morris is a free agent who allowed a 6.30 ERA in 10 innings with the Reds last year as a 29-year-old rookie. Perhaps this performance will be enough to get him onto a minor league squad and give him a chance to work his way back to a second chance in the bigs.

Morris came on in relief Wednesday night but was bothered by soreness in his throwing shoulder.

Reds' A.J. Morris: Signs minor league deal with Reds
Morris signed a minor league contract with the Reds on Friday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
The 29-year-old posted a solid season at Triple-A Indianapolis last season, but had little chance to make his way to the majors with the Pirates' depth in the bullpen. His jump to the Reds organization could provide a much better shot for him to crack the big league roster, but for now it appears he'll continue serving as organizational depth.
