WASHINGTON — The Pittsburgh Pirates have put right-hander Charlie Morton on the 15-day disabled list with right hip inflammation and recalled infielder Brent Morel from Triple-A Indianapolis.

“Charlie started feeling a level of discomfort a couple months ago,” manager Clint Hurdle said. “It’s been manageable up until lately. Now it’s starting to affect his performance.”

Morton is 5-12 with a 3.84 ERA and hasn’t won since July 2. In his last two starts, he allowed 10 earned runs over eight innings in losses to San Diego and Washington.

Hurdle said right-hander Gerrit Cole, currently on the disabled list with a strained right lat, is scheduled to pitch Wednesday against Atlanta in what would have been Morton’s next start.
