Pirates' Bailey Falter: Blanks Marlins for eighth win
Falter (8-7) earned the win Wednesday over Miami, allowing two hits and three walks over 7.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Falter was excellent, holding the Marlins to just a pair of singles. The scoreless effort marked Falter's first quality start since June 18 -- he hadn't gone more than 5.2 innings in any of his previous 10 outings, posting a 5.79 ERA in that span. The left-hander's ERA now sits at 4.20 on the season with a 1.27 WHIP and 89:39 K:BB across 128.2 innings. Falter's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Cardinals in his next outing.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Settles down for seventh win
Falter (7-7) earned the win Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings against the Nationals. He struck out three.
Falter's outing did not begin well as he allowed three runs in the first, capped by a two-run homer by Andres Chaparro. Falter then settled down, allowing no more runs through his final four innings while the anemic Pirates' offense scored six to put him in position for his seventh win. Falter progressively improved throughout his start, retiring the Nationals in order for the first time in the fifth to close out his outing on a high note. Despite setting a new career-high with his seventh win, the nine batters to reach base marked the fifth straight start Falter has allowed at least eight baserunners while pitching fewer than six innings, holding a 6.85 ERA and 1.82 WHIP during that stretch. His next start is currently slated to take place in Pittsburgh against the Marlins.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Stumbles in no-decision
Falter did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-8 loss to Cleveland, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk over four innings. He struck out two.
The 27-year-old struggled out the gate, allowing a two-RBI double to Josh Naylor in the first inning to open the game's scoring. After allowing two more runs in the fourth inning, Pirates manager Derek Shelton had seen enough and didn't allow Falter out for the fifth, even though he'd tossed only 59 pitches. The Pittsburgh southpaw has pitched to 4.41 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 81:34 K:BB across 116.1 innings in 23 starts this season. He currently lines up to make his next outing at home against the Nationals.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Ends up with no-decision Sunday
Falter did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers. He allowed four runs on seven hits and three walks while recording two strikeouts over four innings.
All four runs against Falter were put up in the first two innings with the Dodgers plating a pair with two outs in the first and second. Falter was able to hold things scoreless over the next two frames, but his day was done after he needed 93 pitches to get through four. Sunday was only the third time this season he's walked three or more batters, and he's now struck out fewer than five batters in in six of his last seven starts while posting just one quality start over that span. For the year, Falter owns a 4.07 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB in 101.2 innings. He lines up to face the Mariners over the weekend his next time on the mound.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Goes two innings before rain delay
Falter didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Padres, allowing two hits while striking out one over two scoreless innings.
Falter allowed just a pair of singles Tuesday before the game entered a nearly three-hour rain delay, which forced Pittsburgh to turn to the bullpen to start the third inning. Falter's been serviceable for the Pirates this year, going 5-7 with a 3.87 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 65:28 K:BB across 19 starts (97.2 innings). The left-hander is currently slated to make his next start this weekend on the road against the Dodgers.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Earns win in return
Falter (5-7) allowed two runs (one earned) on six hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Astros on Tuesday.
Falter missed most of July while recovering from left triceps tendinitis. He was good in his return, though he allowed a home run to Yainer Diaz. Falter threw 47 of his 66 pitches for strikes, so it may take him another couple of starts to get fully stretched out. The southpaw now has a 3.95 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 64:28 K:BB through 95.2 innings over 18 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at home versus the Padres.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Confirmed to start Tuesday
Falter (tricep) is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Astros in Houston.
After returning from the 15-day injured list Monday, Falter will reclaim his spot in what tentatively shapes up as a six-man rotation for the Pirates. The southpaw was placed on the shelf July 7 with left tricep tendinitis and needed just one rehab start to convince the Pirates that he was ready to slot back into the rotation. Though Falter was limited to just three innings in his rehab start with Triple-A Indianapolis last Wednesday, he tossed 60 pitches in the outing, so he should be relatively stretched out as he rejoins the big club.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Returns from injured list
The Pirates activated Falter (triceps) from the 15-day injured list Monday.
While the Pirates haven't yet announced their plans for Tuesday's game in Houston, Falter should be lined up to start if he isn't needed out of the bullpen in Monday's series opener. The left-hander has been out since early July with left triceps tendinitis, but he should be reasonably stretched out for starting duties after throwing 60 pitches during his lone rehab start with Triple-A Indianapolis last Wednesday.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Covers three innings in rehab start
Falter (tricep) struck out three batters and allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks in three innings in his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Indianapolis.
Falter tossed 60 pitches (42 strikes) in the rehab start, which could be the only outing he needs in the minors before making his way back from the 15-day injured list. The Pirates have an open spot in the rotation for Tuesday's game in Houston, and Falter would be available on five days' rest to fill the opening. If Falter is in fact activated to start Tuesday, he could be on a slight workload restriction for what would be his first outing with the Pirates since July 6.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Beginning rehab assignment
Falter (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Falter has been out since early July with left triceps tendinitis but is feeling well enough to kick off a rehab assignment. The left-hander could be ready to return from the 10-day injured list by early next week if his outing goes well Wednesday, but an additional rehab outing might be a likelier outcome.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Throws live batting practice
Falter (triceps) threw a live batting practice session Thursday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Falter looked healthy during the session, and the next steps in the left-hander's recovery will be discussed over the next day or two. Falter has been sidelined since early July with left triceps tendinitis.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Shelved with triceps tendinitis
The Pirates placed Falter on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left triceps tendinitis.
Falter was pulled during his start in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Mets with what the Pirates initially termed as left posterior arm discomfort, but the team has now settled on a more precise diagnosis for the injury. He'll be ineligible to rejoin the Pirates for at least the next two weeks, and a clearer timeline for his return should emerge once he's cleared to resume throwing. The Pirates could activate Quinn Priester (lat) from the IL during the upcoming week to fill Falter's spot in the rotation.

Pirates' Bailey Falter: Battling arm discomfort
Falter was removed from his start Saturday against the Mets due to left posterior arm discomfort.
Falter was only able to get through two innings before making an early exit, surrendering three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two batters. The Pirates' medical staff will take him in for further testing, and the team will likely have a better idea of his availability for his next start once his results come back.
