The Atlanta Braves replaced injured starting pitcher Charlie Morton by adding left-handed pitcher Tucker Davidson to their World Series roster Wednesday.
Major League Baseball approved the move after independently confirming that Morton sustained a fractured right fibula.
Morton was injured in the second inning of Tuesday night's Game 1 after taking a sharp grounder from Yuli Gurriel off his lower right leg. Morton appeared unfazed while retiring the bottom of the Houston lineup in order. However, in the third inning, Morton winced and buckled while recording a called third strike on the leadoff batter, Jose Altuve.
