ATLANTA (AP) — The Latest on Game 3 of the World Series (all times local):
5 p.m.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Charlie Morton has had surgery to repair the fractured right fibula sustained in the World Series opener.
The Braves said Dr. Robert Anderson operated Thursday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Morton was struck by a liner off the bat of Houston’s Yuli Gurriel.
“The expectation is good that he should heal fine and be ready to go in spring training,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said Friday.
Snitker said Morton was to travel to Atlanta later Friday or Saturday.
