Overview

  • Detroit designated and released Morton after a rough nine-start stint post-deadline trade from Baltimore, during which he posted a 7.09 ERA as manager A.J. Hinch prioritized strengthening the bullpen.
  • Atlanta signed Morton to a major league deal on Monday, and manager Brian Snitker said there is no plan yet on whether he will pitch this week as he is set to arrive Tuesday.
  • For the season, Morton is 9-11 with a 5.89 ERA in 32 games (26 starts) between the Orioles and Tigers.
  • An 18-year veteran with World Series rings in 2017 (Astros) and 2021 (Braves), Morton returns for a third stint with the club that drafted him in 2002.
  • In corresponding Braves moves, Jhancarlos Lara was optioned to Triple-A and Carson Ragsdale was designated for assignment, while some outlets have reported Morton could consider retirement beyond this season.
