Morton Struggles, Braves Fall to D-backs 7-5

Charlie Morton had a mixed outing in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed four earned runs on five hits and struck out five over 6.1 innings, without issuing a walk. Despite a decent strikeout count and control over his walks, Morton's susceptibility to giving up runs hurt his team and his fantasy managers alike. With a season ERA now hovering over 4.00 and a WHIP of 1.22, his inconsistency can be a concern for fantasy managers relying on him for stable starts. While his K/9 remains solid, this performance underlines some ongoing challenges in maintaining lower run allowances. Fantasy managers should consider matchups carefully with Morton, as his volatility may impact his reliability as a fantasy starter.
