勇敢に立ち向かうs RHP Charlie Morton goes on IL with finger 問題／発行する, making him ineligible for NLDS
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Atlanta 勇敢に立ち向かうs took another blow to their 傷害-疫病／悩ますd rotation, placing 権利-hander Charlie Morton on the 15-day 負傷させるd 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） Sunday. The move means the 14-game 勝利者 won't be 適格の to pitch in the NL 分割 Series.
The 39-year-old Morton left his start Friday against the Washington 国家のs after only one inning with 苦痛 in his 権利 索引 finger. An MRI showed it was a sprain, 経営者／支配人 Brian Snitker said.
Morton won't be 適格の to come off the IL until Oct. 7, which is after the 勇敢に立ち向かうs will have 始める，決める their roster for the best-of-five NLDS. Atlanta, with baseball's best 記録，記録的な／記録する, has already earned a bye in the best-of-three 開始 一連の会議、交渉／完成する.
The only way Morton could be 活動させる／戦時編成するd would be as a 交替／補充 for player who is 負傷させるd in the 分割 Series.
"This isn't anything or any hill we 港／避難所´t climbed before," Snitker said. "There is never good タイミング on that 肉親，親類d of stuff. Hopefully we have the depth to cover everything up and go on and be 競争の激しい."
The 勇敢に立ち向かうs, who are 捜し出すing their second World Series 肩書を与える in three years, are 希望に満ちた that Morton (14-12, 3.64 ERA) could return for the NL 選手権 Series if the team gets past the NLDS.

"The best-事例／患者 シナリオ is he could be ready for that if we 前進する," Snitker said.
The loss of Morton （機の）カム すぐに after the 勇敢に立ち向かうs placed lefty Max Fried on the 15-day IL with a ぐずぐず残る blister 問題／発行する. However, he would be 適格の to return for the NLDS, if healthy.
Spencer Strider and Bryce 年上の have been the only starters to make it through the season without any physical 後退s.
Fried, 走者-up for the NL Cy Young Award a year ago, has been on the IL three times while making only 14 starts, although the 勇敢に立ち向かうs are 慎重に ptomistic that he will be 回復するd in time for the プレーオフs.
"It's just one of those 障害物s you have to 扱う and 調整s you have to make," Snitker said. "You put things together and maybe do some things you wouldn't 普通は do to get through."
Kyle Wright, a 21-game 勝利者 in 2022, has 行方不明になるd most of the season and only returned to the rotation. But he is 0-3 with a 7.71 ERA and doesn't appear to be a viable 選択 for the postseason rotation.
Wright had been scheduled to start the first game Sunday, but the 勇敢に立ち向かうs have 転換d him to the bullpen to see if he might be 効果的な in that 役割 ahead of the postseason.
"Maybe we can 限界 some of his innings, hopefully get a look at him for more than just a start," Snitker said. "It's more about not 税金ing him as much and getting more out of him."
The late-season woes are a grim 思い出の品 of what happened to the 勇敢に立ち向かうs a year ago, when Fried dealt with a flu bug and Strider was slowed by an oblique 緊張する.
Both 投手s were 激しく揺するd in losses during the NLDS as the wild-card Phillies upset NL East 支持する／優勝者 Atlanta in four games.
Thanks to three 可能性のある off days, the 勇敢に立ち向かうs could get by with only three starters in this year's NLDS. But with Morton sidelined and Fried's status in 疑問, they may have to turn to an ありそうもない 選択 to fill the third 位置／汚点／見つけ出す.
Sixteen 投手s have made starts for Atlanta, 含むing 権利-hander Allan Winans, who was 解任するd from ３倍になる-A Gwinnett and scheduled to start the opener of a doubleheader Sunday against the 国家のs.
Strider was 始める，決める to go in the nightcap, which is a make-up of a game Saturday that was called off because of inclement 天候.
"Everything is on the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する," Snitker said. "We'll just have to wait and see how we there."
