Charlie Morton

Charlie Morton struggled in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins, allowing four earned runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out three over six innings.

Fantasy Impact

This performance slightly inflates his already middling ERA to 4.08 and WHIP to 1.32 for the season, which are concerning metrics for fantasy managers relying on him for better outcomes. His strikeout rate remains decent at 9.2 K/9, but his FIP at 4.42 suggests some underlying issues that haven't improved. Given these numbers, Morton's reliability as a fantasy starter is becoming more questionable, and managers might want to consider matchup-based plays or seek more consistent options.

Charlie Morton delivered a solid performance but took the loss in Monday's 1-0 defeat against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed just one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings. Despite this strong outing, Morton's season has been a mixed bag with a 4.11 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP across 27 starts. His 9.4 K/9 continues to be a bright spot, offering valuable strikeouts for fantasy managers, but his elevated 4.52 FIP suggests some underlying struggles. Given his consistent ability to rack up strikeouts and the quality starts he's capable of, Morton remains a viable fantasy option, though his win potential may be hampered by the Braves' inconsistent run support, as evidenced in this game.

Charlie Morton turned in a commendable performance on Wednesday, securing a win as the Braves topped the Rockies 5-2.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched five innings, allowing two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight. This outing, characterized by high strikeout numbers and moderate control issues, slightly improves his season ERA to 4.24 and WHIP to 1.32. Despite these improvements, Morton's season has been marked by inconsistency, as reflected in his elevated FIP and fluctuating win-loss record. His ability to rack up strikeouts remains a bright spot, maintaining a solid 9.4 K/9 rate. Fantasy managers should continue to view Morton as a potential strikeout asset, though his overall effectiveness may be limited by his tendency to allow runs and base runners.

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.
