Bailey Falter Comes Off Injured List On Monday
4 months agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated left-hander Bailey Falter (triceps) from the 15-day injured list on Monday. Now that Falter is back with the big-league pitching staff, there's a good chance he'll make his next start for the Bucs on Tuesday on the road against the Houston Astros. The 27-year-old southpaw won't be a recommended streamer in that matchup, though, mainly because it will be his first action in the majors since early June due to left-triceps tendonitis. Falter threw 60 pitches in his only minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Indianapolis last Wednesday. The former fifth-round pick of the Philadelphia Phillies in 2015 is sporting a lackluster 16.7% strikeout rate and career-high 7.7% walk rate in 17 starts covering 90 1/3 innings in 2024. Falter has a 4.08 ERA (4.46 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP and is a low-upside fantasy streamer in deeper leagues now that he's back with Pittsburgh.
