Morton left the game in the bottom of the third inning after throwing 44 pitches. The Braves were leading 5-0 when Morton struck out Astros leadoff hitter Jose Altuve with a curve. On his delivery, Morton almost went to the ground and came up with a limp.
"RHP Charlie Morton underwent X-rays tonight that revealed a right fibula fracture," the Braves tweeted.
