San Diego Padres reliever Adrian Morejón took the mound against the Chicago Cubs during Game 2 of the National League Wild Card Series at Petco Park on September 30, 2026. The left-hander, wearing number 50, pitched in the seventh inning as the Padres hosted the Cubs in the postseason matchup.

The appearance comes amid discussion among Cubs analysts about the relative merits of Morejón versus Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar, though Bednar was not involved in this series. Morejón has been a key piece of San Diego's bullpen throughout the 2026 season.
