Charlie Morton Heading To The Bullpen
Charlie Morton will move to the team's bullpen moving forward, according to manager Brandon Hyde. However, the Orioles "haven't closed the door on him being a starter again yet." Morton handled the news of the demotion like a "total pro", and Hyde "thanked him multiple times" for volunteering to pitch in the blowout loss to the division-rival New York Yankees on Tuesday night. The Orioles' one-year, $15 million deal with the 41-year-old isn't looking so good early on after Morton started the year going 0-6 with a 9.45 ERA, 2.17 WHIP, 26 strikeouts, a league-high 21 walks and a league-high 28 earned runs in 26 2/3 innings over seven appearances (five starts). The crafty veteran appears to have lost it so far in 2025. He allowed six walks and four earned runs in a bulk-relief role in his last two outings. Morton's quickly fading fantasy value has taken a big hit.
