The Phillies brought up Bailey Falter to be the sixth starter, but manager Joe Girardi says he's not using a six-man rotation at this time.
NEW YORK — On Friday, left-handed pitcher Bailey Falter was recalled from triple-A for a start against the Mets. The start did not go well. Falter threw 82 pitches through a three-inning outing, allowing five runs , four hits, three walks, a homer, and a hit-by-pitch.
Girardi confirmed on Saturday that he is not going to use a six-man rotation. He said that Falter’s outing on Friday was just a spot start, but Falter, for reasons that aren’t clear, remains on the active roster.“I’m worried about tonight,” Girardi said. “Now we don’t have to get to 13 [pitchers] and 13 [position players], but when we go to 13 and 13, it’s possible [Falter is optioned]. Right now, he’s here with us but we haven’t decided what exactly we’re going to do.
Falter could get that work at triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Phillies can carry only 14 pitchers on their roster until June 19, when all MLB rosters will be set at a 13-pitcher maximum. If Falter isn’t part of a six-man rotation, and working out of the bullpen will affect his ability to serve as that sixth starter, it’s unclear what the point of carrying him through June 19 would be.
