like that he's showing some pop

[imref]

OPS up to .898, has been hitting well as of late.

[zimm_da_kid]

Through 150 minor league games now:

AB: 562

.310/.366/.463

39 doubles, 7 triples, 11 homers, 95 RBI, 62BB/139K

Dude's a hitter and he should be up by the deadline

Yep. Get him to Triple A and let's get ready for him to be the every day first baseman

[Smithian]

I thought he'd never be able to field left side of the infield nor hit for 1B/DH. Starting to believe he can hit enough for 1B/DH. I still hope Nats extend Lowe and lock in a serviceable player at that spot for next half decade, but if Lowe is gone at deadline then I want Morales to get some burn there.

[Section214]

Promoted to AAA, very promising bat.

Promoted to AAA, very promising bat.

that's great news. Given he has been playing mostly at third at AA could it mean....

[Slateman]

Promoted to AAA, very promising bat.

Fantastic. On pace to get MLB time after the deadline at the latest

Played 1st and 3rd in yesterday’s DH.

That slugging rate with zero homers is an odd sight

[nobleisthyname]

That slugging rate with zero homers is an odd sight

ISO is only .137 so it's mostly driven by his high average, but he did still have 11 extra base hits in May: 11 doubles and 2 triples.
