“Outfield prospect Nick Morabito is getting called up to the majors from Triple-A Syracuse”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results mention Nick Morabito as a prospect and discuss potential additions (including Ewing and Morabito), there is no explicit confirmation from multiple independent sources that he was called up to the majors at this specific moment. One search result mentions him hitting his first Triple-A home run in 2026, but not a call-up.
