During the National League Division Series, a crucial player for the Atlanta Braves was unavailable.

The Braves had hoped that Morton would be available by the time the team advanced to the NL Championship Series, but he was unavailable during the National League Division Series. In the first inning of his start on September 22 at Nationals Park, the veteran experienced discomfort in his fingers with one out. At the beginning of the second inning, he was absent. The athlete’s condition is confirmed to be no more serious than a sprain by an MRI. (Updated as of October 13)
