Charlie Morton steadies ship with quality start

Charlie Morton delivered a solid performance in Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

He pitched six innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four. This outing was a step in the right direction for Morton, who entered the game with a slightly inflated 4.70 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP through his first four starts. His ability to limit the Rangers to just a couple of runs should help in lowering his ERA and building confidence. With a season K/9 of 8.6 and a FIP of 3.91, Morton continues to show underlying skills that could make him a valuable asset in fantasy rotations, especially if he maintains or improves his strikeout-to-walk ratio. This performance might hint at a positive trend, suggesting that Morton could be stabilizing after a rocky start to the season.
