Charlie Morton Falters, Braves Fall to Phillies 5-4
by Chase Davis | Fri, Aug 30th 8:52am EDT
Charlie Morton struggled to contain the Phillies, yielding three earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven over 5.2 innings in Thursday's 5-4 loss.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance slightly inflates his already middling ERA of 4.26 and WHIP of 1.31. Despite a decent strikeout rate of 9.2 K/9, Morton's control issues were on display, contributing to a season that has oscillated between mediocre and disappointing. His FIP of 4.63 suggests that some of his struggles can be attributed to factors beyond his control, but fantasy managers should be wary. Morton remains a risky play, primarily useful in matchups or deeper leagues where strikeouts are at a premium.
