Morton allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Morton had trouble early, allowing a three-run home run to Jacob Wilson in the first inning. A pair of wild pitches didn't help Morton's performance, but the Tigers' offense spared him from ending up with a loss. Morton is now at a 5.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 137:58 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 28 appearances (22 starts) between Detroit and Baltimore this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Mets.

Morton (9-10) allowed two runs on three hits across six innings of work to earn the win Wednesday against the Astros. He walked three and struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

Despite facing a tough Houston lineup, Morton was able to log another quality start for the Tigers and pick up his second win with his new team. The veteran has now made four starts for Detroit since coming over in a trade before the deadline, and he's mostly looked sharp with a 3.63 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 29 strikeouts across 22.1 innings. Morton had a 5.42 ERA across 23 appearances for the Orioles earlier in the season, so fantasy managers may not completely trust him yet, but he's starting to emerge as a potentially useful option down the stretch. The 41-year-old righty lines up to make his next start Tuesday against the Athletics on the road.

Morton (8-10) notched the win Friday against Minnesota, allowing two hits and three walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

After conceding six runs in his last start versus the Angels, Morton bounced back in a big way Friday. It was his first scoreless start since June 13 with the Orioles, and the veteran right-hander has now logged a quality start in five of his last seven outings. Morton has rebounded from a disastrous start to the year by posting a respectable 3.95 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 77:27 K:BB over 70.2 innings since the beginning of June, though a tough assignment awaits him against the Astros next week.

Morton (7-10) took the loss Saturday as the Tigers fell 7-4 to the Angels, coughing up six runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out 10.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran righty produced 21 swinging strikes among his 90 pitches (62 total strikes) and fired first-pitch strikes to 19 of the 22 batters he faced, but Morton gave up plenty of hard contact as well -- four of the seven hits off him went for extra bases, including homers by Jo Adell and Taylor Ward that accounted for five of the runs against him. Morton has served up seven long balls in his last five starts and 28.1 innings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 6.35 ERA and 1.55 WHIP despite a 29:12 K:BB. He'll try to keep the ball in the park in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Minnesota.

Morton (7-9) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to take the loss versus the Phillies on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Morton's Tigers debut saw him turn in a good performance despite taking the loss in a 2-0 defeat. He's posted four quality starts over his last five outings, allowing 15 runs across 30 innings in that span, though seven of those runs came in a July 18 start against the Rays. Morton now has a 5.20 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 107:49 K:BB through 107.1 innings over 24 appearances (18 starts) between Detroit and Baltimore this year. He should get better run support with his new team, but the 41-year-old right-hander is still a risk for a bad performance here and there. Morton is projected to make his Detroit home debut against the Angels.

Morton will make his first start for the Tigers on Sunday in Philadelphia, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Acquired from the Orioles on Thursday in exchange for minor-league lefty Micah Ashman, Morton will step in as the Tigers' new No. 5 starter in place of right-hander Troy Melton, who was moved to the bullpen. Morton will need to be a serviceable innings eater to ensure he sticks in the Detroit rotation for the rest of the season, but after a rough start to the campaign at Baltimore, the veteran righty had been pitching effectively for the past two and a half months. Over his final 14 appearances (11 starts) with the Orioles, Morton logged a 3.62 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 15.5 K-BB% over 69.2 innings.

The Orioles traded Morton to the Tigers on Thursday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles will unload Morton after he put up a 5.42 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 101.1 innings across 23 appearances (17 starts). Given his struggles as a starter, the Tigers may consider moving the 41-year-old veteran into the bullpen for the final few months of the regular season, or the team could implement a six-man rotation to preserve their starters' arms

Morton (7-8) picked up the win in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays, giving up three runs on eight hits and three walks over six innings in a 16-4 rout. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The 41-year-old righty didn't have his best stuff, managing just eight swinging strikes among his 100 pitches (64 total strikes), but Morton was able to produce his third quality start in his last four outings, and sixth of the season. He's allowed more than three runs only once in his last eight trips to the mound, posting a 3.97 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB over 45.1 innings during that stretch. Morton lines up to make his next start on the road early next week in Philadelphia.

Morton (6-8) earned the win after throwing 6.2 innings, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out seven, during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Morton rebounded from allowing a season-high seven runs in his last start by limiting the Guardians to just three runs through 6.2 innings. The 41-year-old struggled a bit with his control, walking four batters, but battled through it to match his longest start of the season. The veteran right-hander has an unsightly 5.48 ERA on the season, but has allowed more than three earned runs only twice in his last 17 outings. Morton's next start is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday against the Blue Jays, but with the trade deadline approaching, that could be subject to change.

Morton (5-8) took the loss Friday against the Rays, giving up seven runs on eight hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander wasn't sharp in his first start following the All-Star break, setting a season high in hits allowed and matching a season worst in runs allowed. Morton had yielded seven runs across his last four starts prior to Friday, but his ERA is now up to 5.58 for the year to go with a 1.56 WHIP and 92:41 K:BB over 88.2 innings (15 starts). His next turn tentatively lines up for next week in Cleveland, although the impending return of Zach Eflin (back) could alter Baltimore's rotation plans for next week.
