Morton and Fried are also second and third on the Braves’ pitching staff with a 2.7 and 1.9 fWAR.</p><p>Atlanta’s rotation is headed by Spencer Strider, and if it appears that the Braves will not have Fried and/or Morton to start their journey in the postseason, they will have to make some major decisions, perhaps involving the likes of Bryce Elder and Kyle Wright.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

On Friday, it was announced that right-hander Max Fried would miss the rest of the regular season with a blister. Then, shortly after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-max-fried-100-real-on-the-playoff-upside-of-his-injury" rel="noopener">the Fried announcement</a> occurred, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-troubling-max-fried-injury-move-before-playoffs" rel="noopener">the Braves got even more</a> troubling injury news during their game against the Washington Nationals Friday.</p><p>After pitching just one inning against the Nationals, right-hander Charlie Morton was <a href="https://twitter.com/Braves/status/1705365826612633860" rel="noopener">forced to leave</a> the contest with right index finger discomfort, per the team’s X (formerly Twitter) account.</p><p>Later, it was reported that the injury was a right index finger strain of unknown severity, per Justin Toscano of the AJC. Morton is scheduled to have an MRI on the injury Saturday.</p><p>The injuries are piling up for Atlanta at quite the inopportune time. The team is currently in the midst of trying to lock down home field advantage for the upcoming MLB postseason. The Braves have enjoyed a dominant 2023 regular season, clinching their sixth straight NL East title in the process; however, the team has begun to falter just a bit as of late and seen their lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL’s number one overall side begin to dwindle.</p><p>The Braves will certainly hope that Charlie Morton’s injury is nothing serious and that Fried’s blister is indeed healed by the time the playoffs roll around. The MLB postseason is slated to begin first with the Wild Card Round in early October, followed by the divisional series the following weekend.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While he did toss five scoreless innings and allowed just three hits, Morton walked seven batters and became the first Braves pitcher ever to issue a minimum of seven free passes in five clean innings, per MLB.com.</p><p>Following the outing, the righty <a href="https://www.mlb.com/braves/news/charlie-morton-seven-walks-in-braves-win" rel="noopener">got brutally honest</a> on the start where he struggled to find the strike zone:</p><p>“I think after three or four [walks] you think, ‘This is very embarrassing,’ but I still have the ball in my hands,” Morton said.</p><p>“I just got away with a lot,” Morton said. “There were some quick outs on pitches that weren’t great. I started to feel my delivery in my arm slot a little better towards the end, but by then, I’d already been really sloppy.”</p><p>He honestly had one of the weirdest lines ever and it’s crazy Morton didn’t pay for his lack of command. Base on balls tends to be a problem at times for him, walking nearly one batter every two innings this season. Regardless, he battled and kept his team in the game, and as per usual, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-matt-olson-marching-towards-franchise-history-amid-shohei-ohtani-hr-battle" rel="noopener">Atlanta’s potent offense</a> did it’s job.</p><p>With the win, Charlie Morton now sits at 11-10 on the year with a 3.71 ERA, striking out 136 in 128.2 innings while walking 63. Respectable production for a 39-year-old. Thankfully the Mets bats are struggling or else Morton probably would’ve paid for making several mistakes over the plate.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Not much was going right for the Braves in this one (although they did manage to pull off a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-atlanta-triple-play-not-seen-1884" rel="noopener">historic triple play</a>), and it featured a pretty ugly start from Charlie Morton, who has been one of their more consistent pitchers on the season.</p><p>Morton’s command wasn’t great against Boston (3.2 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 5 BB, 1 K) and it allowed them to consistently bring batters to the plate while he was in the game. This is the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-michael-harris-charlie-morton-explain-losing-streak-positive" rel="noopener">second straight outing</a> where Morton has allowed four earned runs, and after the game, he didn’t hold back on his criticism of himself, noting that he knows he <a href="https://www.mlb.com/braves/news/braves-turn-first-triple-play-of-2023-season" rel="noopener">needs to be better</a>.</p><p>“They weren’t really chasing anything, I wasn’t getting a lot of swing and miss, five walks, just a bad outing. That’s just me being off, like really off in my timing and my delivery. There were so many pitches there that weren’t executed. That’s more I think just staying in my delivery and timing and today was just not a good day for that.” – Charlie Morton, MLB.com</p><p>Even with this loss, the Braves still have a firm grip on the top spot the National League right now, but it’s a bit concerning to see Morton struggle in back-to-back starts now. The good news is that he recognizes that he must be better, and it will be worth watching his next start to see if he can right that ship.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
