Charlie Morton Pushed Back to Friday With Elbow Tendinitis
Charlie Morton (elbow) will have his next start pushed back to Friday in Atlanta against the Braves due to low-grade elbow tendinitis, according to MASN's Roch Kubatko. Rookie right-hander Brandon Young will make the start on Tuesday, his fourth in the big leagues, against the Texas Rangers. If the 41-year-old Morton is cleared to go by Friday, he'll be a pretty risky fantasy option despite facing off against a Braves team that has struggled to score runs in 2025. Morton does have 77 strikeouts in 72 innings pitched over his 18 outings (12 starts) this year, but he's also sporting a 5.63 ERA (4.42 FIP) and 1.57 WHIP in 72 innings pitched. The veteran hurler was better in five starts in June, though, allowing over three earned runs in an outing just once while striking out 32 and walking eight in 25 innings.
