Struggling Falter Prepares to be Phillies' Fifth Starter With som growth Bailey Falter may be a good fit to replace Andrew Painter as the Phillies’ fifth starter.

Likely to open as fifth starter Falter is likely to open the season as the Phillies' fifth starter with Andrew Painter (elbow) injured, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact It is not yet known how long Painter might be sidelined, but he's certainly not going to be ready Opening Day, clearing the way for Falter to open as the team's No. 5 starter. Falter pitched well for Philadelphia last season, holding a 3.86 ERA and 74:17 K:BB over 84 innings, with 16 of his 20 appearances coming as a starter. The left-hander has an impressive minor-league track record, as well, particularly when it comes to throwing strikes. Falter is more of a floor than ceiling play but could be worth using in deeper fantasy leagues while he's getting starts.

Bailey Falter thought about his bad NLCS start all winter. Time for a change(up) "I had a bad taste in my mouth. I want to get back out there and prove myself again," said Falter, who's competing for the No. 5 spot.

In competition for rotation spot Falter's primary competition for the Phillies' No. 5 starter spot is phenom Andrew Painter, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Falter would be the more traditional selection for the fifth starter's spot, as he has paid his dues and had some success in the rotation last season, but he obviously can't match Painter's upside. The 25-year-old southpaw had a 3.76 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 71 strikeouts in 76.2 innings as a starter last season.

Not on World Series roster Falter was left off the Phillies' roster for the World Series on Friday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Falter started Game 4 of the NLCS and allowed four runs over two-thirds of an inning, and he won't be on the active roster for the World Series. The 25-year-old was a solid swingman for Philadelphia this season with a 3.86 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 74:17 K:BB across 84 innings.

Rocky start in Game 4 Falter did not factor in the decision during Game 4's 10-6 win over the Padres on Saturday night, allowing four runs on three hits and a walk while striking out zero over 0.2 innin...

Impact Falter was slated to have a short start Saturday, but he was unable to get through the first inning and was relieved by Connor Brogdon. After two quick outs, Manny Machado hit a solo homer and the Padres followed with a single, a walk and a two-run double to knock Falter out of the game. The 25-year-old had a similar gameplan in his final regular season appearance when he pitched a scoreless first inning against the Astros, but he was unable to replicate that success in Game 4 of the NLCS, though the Philadelphia offense mounted a comeback to take him off the hook for the loss.

Short Game 4 start expected Falter will start Game 4 of the NLCS against the Padres on Saturday, but he's only expected to pitch once through the order, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact He gets the nod after it was Noah Syndergaard who got the start in Game 4 of the previous series, but Falter is unlikely to remain in the game long enough to make a significant fantasy impact. The Phillies will feel comfortable turning to their bullpen early Saturday, as they have Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola lined up to start Games 5 and 6 (if necessary), respectively.

Phillies to send young lefty to mound for Game 4 NLCS start Bailey Falter will have his chance to shine on Saturday night against the San Diego Padres.

Set for one-inning start Falter is expected to throw only one inning in his start Wednesday in Houston, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Phillies won't have room in the rotation for Falter during the wild-card round, so he'll be making a start Wednesday that simulates what a relief appearance would look like for him in the postseason. Philadelphia called up Michael Plassmeyer from Triple-A Lehigh Valley earlier in the day and could turn to him in bulk relief behind Falter.

Pounded for six runs in loss Falter gave up six earned runs on ten hits and no walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings in a 6-3 loss to Atlanta on Saturday.

Impact Falter was done in by the long ball, and the major damage to his line came on a pair of home runs off the bats of William Contreras and Michael Harris. Falter has now made two starts in a row against Atlanta. He only gave up one run in the previous start. It appears that the extra look at his stuff allowed the opposition to get a read on him as a pitcher. Falter's ERA has now risen to 4.21 and he will need to make an adjustment his next time out at Washington if he hopes to pick up his sixth win with only a couple of turns through the rotation left in the season.

Coughs up one run Falter yielded one run on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against Atlanta on Sunday. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Falter had earned a win in five straight outings before failing to record a decision in Sunday's loss. The only damage against him came from Robbie Grossman's RBI double in the third frame. Falter is now sporting a 3.68 ERA with a 62:15 K:BB through 17 appearances. The 25-year-old southpaw is sporting a 2.45 ERA across his last seven starts. Falter is projected to start at home against Atlanta next week.

Staying in rotation Falter will remain in the Phillies' rotation once Zack Wheeler (forearm) is activated next week, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact To create room for Wheeler in the rotation, the Phillies will move Noah Syndergaard to a relief role, at least in the short term. Falter has a 2.52 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 30:3 K:BB in 35.2 innings over his last six starts. He'll pick up another start Sunday in Atlanta and tentatively lines up to face Atlanta again next weekend in Philadelphia.

Impact Falter struggled through the first inning, hitting a batter, handing out two free passes and also throwing a wild pitch. It appeared he wouldn't be in for a long outing, but he settled in to retire 10 consecutive batters en route to his first win of the season. Falter served as the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader and will be returned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday as a result. However, he could be back up with the big-league club prior to the close of the campaign and now has a 4.40 ERA and 40:13 K:BB across 45 innings with the Phillies for the season.

Starting nightcap Falter was added as the 27th man for Saturday's twin bill against the Mets. He'll start the nightcap.

Impact Falter has made seven starts and four relief appearances for the Phillies this season, posting a 4.85 ERA. The long ball has been a problem, as he owns a 2.3 HR/9, thanks in part to a very low 28.8 percent groundball rate. He'll face a tough task keeping the Mets' lineup silent at hitter-friendly Citizens Bank Park.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start next weekend Falter is scheduled to start one of the two games in the Phillies' doubleheader against the Mets on Aug. 20, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Impact Falter has started seven games for the Phillies this season, and his eighth start is set to come next weekend. Falter has faced the Mets twice this season and has allowed six runs (three earned) over 5.0 innings against them.

Returned to minors The Phillies optioned Falter to Triple-A Lehigh Valley following Wednesday's 3-1 win over Atlanta.

Impact Though he struck out eight in a quality start in his last trip to the mound July 29 in Pittsburgh, Falter was sent back to the minors after the Phillies no longer had room for him in the rotation following the acquisition of Noah Syndergaard from the Angels on Tuesday. Syndergaard is slated to start Thursday's series opener with the Nationals and will fill the opening on the 26-man active roster vacated by Falter.
