"I can't believe how much growth & strength you've already given me as your mom," she wrote on Instagram. "It's like God knew I needed you, my angel. The universe works in mysterious ways but always times everything the way it was meant to be. Lil one you were made with so much love & already exude a light so strong it warms my belly."

Morgan’s last post with Kopech is a birthday photo, which was posted on April 30.

Kopech is taking a season off from the White Sox, citing "personal reasons." Kopech missed summer camp, which started on July 3. His team said that he was tending "to a personal matter." Kopech underwent Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in September 2018. He missed the entire 2019 season while recovering.
