Morales went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-2 loss to the Tigers.
With lefty Drew Sommers on the mound, Morales entered the game off the bench and launched an opposite-field, two-run homer in the eighth inning. The 24-year-old has hit well since being promoted at the start of September, going 11-for-36 (.306) with three homers, eight RBI, nine runs and a stolen base across 13 games. His playing time has been fairly sporadic, though, as Andres Chaparro and Abimelec Ortiz also compete for at-bats at first base and designated hitter.

Morales went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.
This was Morales' second homer in six games to begin his big-league career. He's also logged two doubles while going 6-for-16 so far. The first baseman is filling a part-time role while battling Abimelec Ortiz and Andres Chaparro for playing time between first base and designated hitter.

Morales went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Washington's 9-5 win over Atlanta on Tuesday.
Morales was promoted from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Tuesday's game, when he served as the designated hitter. He struck out swinging in his first plate appearance in the opening frame, but he bounced back in the third, smacking the second pitch he saw from AJ Smith-Shawver deep to left-center field for a solo home run. It was an impressive big-league debut for Morales, who figures to see a fair amount of playing time the rest of this season at DH and at first and third base.

The Nationals selected Morales' contract from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Morales earned a promotion to the big leagues by collecting a .286/.363/.519 batting line with 25 home runs and a 43:111 BB:K over 104 contests this season with Rochester. The 24-year-old has split his time between first and third base this season, and he should see fairly regular playing time down the stretch between those two positions and designated hitter.

Morales will have his contract selected from Triple-A Rochester prior to Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Yordano Carmona of Pelota Cubana USA reports.
Morales has put together a strong campaign at Triple-A, where he's hitting .286 with 25 home runs, 76 RBI, six stolen bases and 82 runs over 104 games. The 24-year-old's promotion will be made official Tuesday when rosters expand. Morales made 47 starts at first base, 40 starts at the hot corner and 17 starts as the designated hitter for the Red Wings this season, so he'll likely have a few different paths to playing time with the Nationals.

Morales is slashing a stunning .404/.472/.697 over his last 31 games for Triple-A Rochester with eight doubles, eight homers, 19 RBI and a 13:28 BB:K.
The 40th overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Miami, Morales struggled to make any kind of impact at the plate or find a defensive home during his first few years in the Nationals' system. After another sluggish start to 2026, however, things have suddenly clicked for the 24-year-old, and after fanning 30.3 percent of the time over 95 games for Rochester last season, he's shaved that down to 22.4 percent during his month-long heater. Morales has mainly played third base in 2026 after being used primarily at first base the two prior years, and with the Nats having demoted Brady House on Monday, the door would seem to be open for Morales to make his big-league debut in the coming weeks.
