Bailey Falter - Set to start WednesdayFalter will be recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to start Wednesday against the Mariners, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ImpactThe Phillies are in need of rotation pieces with Zack Wheeler (undisclosed) and Zach Eflin (undisclosed) on the COVID-19 injured list, and Falter will receive the nod after being demoted two weeks ago. The 25-year-old began the season in Philadelphia's bullpen before joining the rotation at Lehigh Valley, so he's only stretched out to throw about 60-to-65 pitches.

George Kirby - Stays in rotationKirby will make his second start for the Mariners in Saturday's game against the Mets in New York, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
ImpactAfter coming up from Double-A Arkansas to replace the struggling Matt Brash as the Mariners' No. 5 starter, Kirby was sensational in his MLB debut last Sunday against the Rays. He struck out seven and allowed four baserunners across six scoreless innings in a no-decision, inducing 15 swings and misses along the way. The 24-year-old's impressive first outing made it a foregone conclusion for the Mariners to keep him in the rotation.

Danny Young - Impressive in big-league debutYoung, just promoted from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, fired 2.1 scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and a walk while recording three strikeouts in a loss to the P...
ImpactThe 27-year-old southpaw made his major-league debut after toiling over the last seven-plus seasons in the minors for multiple organizations. Manager Scott Servais found the perfect landing spot for Young's first encounter with big-league bats, as the 9-0 deficit the Mariners carried going into the final two innings of the game made for a textbook low-leverage situation. Given his inexperience, Young will likely be utilized in similar scenarios for the foreseeable future.
