Charlie Morton Mauled by Brewers in Brutal Outing
by Chase Davis | Braves Correspondent | Fri, Aug 9th 9:01am EDT
Charlie Morton had a rough start on Thursday, allowing eight earned runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three over just 2.2 innings in a 16-7 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance significantly inflates his ERA and WHIP, which were already teetering for fantasy managers. Given his season-long struggles with a 4.47 ERA and a FIP even higher at 4.75, this game might raise concerns about his reliability in fantasy lineups. His strikeout rate remains decent, but the inconsistency in his outings could make him a risky play without signs of improvement. Fantasy managers should consider benching Morton until he shows some form of recovery or matchup-based potential.
