Charlie Morton (illness) is scheduled to start Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Tigers, per Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun. The 41-year-old missed some early workouts in camp but remains on track to make his spring debut within the first few games.

Fantasy Impact

Morton signed a one-year, $15 million deal with Baltimore in January and is expected to be a key piece in the Orioles' rotation. He posted a 4.19 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and 167:65 K:BB over 165.1 innings last season. While his strikeout rate remains solid, his walk rate and WHIP suggest some risk. Fantasy managers should monitor his velocity and command throughout the spring to gauge his viability as a mid-rotation option.

Morton signed a one-year, $15 million deal with Baltimore this offseason and is slated to open the year as the team’s No. 3 starter behind Grayson Rodriguez and Zach Eflin.

Fantasy managers should monitor his health but can continue to draft him as a reliable mid-rotation option with strikeout upside.

Fantasy Impact

Morton struggled in his final year with the Braves last season. He'll add depth in the back-end of the Orioles rotation.
