The Pittsburgh Pirates have traded infielder Rodolfo Castro to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for pitcher Bailey Falter. Castro has a .228 batting average with six home runs and 22 RBIs, while Falter has a 5.13 ERA in eight games for the Phillies.
The Philadelphia Phillies have demoted Bailey Falter to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after he fell to 0-7 with a 5.13 ERA. The Phillies are now in a serious crunch for starting pitching and have no clear answer on how to replace him. They may turn to Triple-A right-hander Noah Skirrow, who is the most likely candidate, or use the bullpen if it is fresh. The Phillies' top three pitching prospects are not options, and the only healthy options on the 40-man roster are Triple-A left-handers Cristopher Sánchez and Michael Plassmeyer, who have not pitched well.
The Phillies have sent Bailey Falter to Triple A after his uninspiring results as a starting pitcher and bulk reliever. It is unclear who will take his place in the rotation, but options are limited. The Phillies have recalled Erich Uelmen to take Falter's place on the active roster. Falter's fastball velocity has diminished, and he has struggled to recapture his success from 2022.
The Philadelphia Phillies lost 6-3 to the San Francisco Giants after a pitching experiment by manager Rob Thomson went wrong. Thomson decided to have relief pitcher Connor Brogdon pitch the first inning and bring in starting pitcher Bailey Falter after an inning or two to help him get past his first-inning woes. However, Brogdon gave up two singles and a walk to load the bases with two outs, and Falter gave up six runs in his first full inning of work. The Phillies fell behind 6-2 early and were never really able to get back into it.
The Philadelphia Phillies lost to the Boston Red Sox 7-4, with Bailey Falter struggling in the fourth inning and Jeff Hoffman making his Phillies debut in the eighth and ninth innings. Bryce Harper hit a home run and Alec Bohm drove in a run, but it wasn't enough to end the Phillies' five-game losing streak.
The Boston Red Sox will face the Philadelphia Phillies for their second game of the series on Saturday night. Red Sox manager Alex Cora is making a few changes to the lineup, with Rob Refsnyder leading off and being the designated hitter, and Alex Verdugo slotting back into the lineup and batting second. Corey Kluber will start for the Red Sox, while Bailey Falter will start for the Phillies. Masataka Yoshida and Triston Casas will sit out for the Red Sox.
The Seattle Mariners defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 5-3 on Tuesday night, with Bailey Falter allowing four runs in six innings. Cristian Pache picked up two hits, while Edmundo Sosa hit a solo home run for the Phillies. Teoscar Hernandez hit a two-run homer for the Mariners. The Phillies had a big opportunity in the sixth inning with the bases loaded, but Alec Bohm grounded into a force-out at second base. The Phillies fell to 11-13 on the season.
The Phillies' pitching staff is showing promise with the tandem of lefties Gregory Soto and José Alvarado, who have combined to allow only two earned runs in 16 2/3 innings with 30 strikeouts and four walks since April 1. Trea Turner's power stroke has been slow to start, but the Phillies expect improvement from their lineup mainstays. Bailey Falter, the Phillies' fifth starter, lacks an out pitch against right-handed batters, but the team is working around this by using four-seam fastballs at the top of the zone and curveballs down.
