Phillies seek rotation solution after Falter demotion
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.
