Traded to Atlanta Kansas City traded Falter and Lane Thomas to Atlanta on Saturday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Falter has spent most of the season with Triple-A Omaha, but he gives Atlanta a left-handed option out of the bullpen moving forward. His last major-league outing was May 26 against the Yankees, when he allowed seven runs on nine hits (including three home runs) across 2.1 innings to take the loss. Falter has been much better in Triple-A, where he has a 2.98 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 42.1 frames.

Outrighted to Triple-A The Royals outrighted Falter to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Impact Falter is making $3.6 million this season, so he was a given to pass through waivers after the Royals jettisoned him from their 40-man roster. Declining an outright assignment would've meant forfeiting what remains of his contract, so Falter will report to Omaha and could be used in their rotation.

Cast off 40-man roter The Royals designated Falter for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Kansas City will drop Falter from its 40-man roster after the veteran lefty was roughed up for nine earned runs in 4.1 innings over his previous two starts, during which he served as an opener in bullpen games. The 29-year-old didn't fare much better in his three relief appearances with Kansas City before that, yielding six earned runs over 5.1 innings. The Royals will replace Falter with a fresh relief arm in right-hander Mason Black, who was recalled from Triple-A Omaha ahead of Wednesday's series finale versus the Yankees.

Falters badly against Yankees Falter (0-2) took the loss against the Yankees on Tuesday, allowing seven runs on nine hits while striking out three batters over 2.1 innings.

Impact Falter was called upon to work as Kansas City's opener for a second straight outing. He gave the Royals 2.1 frames but was hit hard, serving up three homers and five runs before he departed. Two more runs were charged to Falter's ledger following his exit, pushing his ERA to an ugly 13.97 through 9.2 frames on the campaign. It remains to be seen how Falter will be utilized moving forward, but he's struggled to such an extent that Kansas City may need to reconsider his role.

Activated from IL The Royals reinstated Falter (elbow) from the injured list Saturday.

Impact Falter has been on the injured list since early April with left elbow inflammation, but he's been playing in rehab games at Triple-A Omaha since April 15. The 29-year-old posted a 2.70 ERA and 1.27 WHIP alongside a 19:3 K:BB over 13.1 innings during his month-long rehab assignment. Now fully healthy, he'll replace Matt Strahm (knee) in Kansas City's bullpen and likely take on a middle-relief role.

MAY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Scoreless fifth rehab outing Falter (elbow) allowed no hits or walks with two strikeouts across 1.1 scoreless innings with Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday.

Impact Falter logged his fifth rehab appearance with Triple-A Omaha as he works back from left elbow inflammation. The outing was arguably his best of the assignment, as the southpaw didn't allow a baserunner, though it also marked his first appearance since April 15 (his initial rehab outing) in which he logged fewer than two innings. Across 8.2 innings at Triple-A, the 28-year-old owns a 3.12 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with a stellar 12:1 K:BB. Falter struggled in two relief appearances with Kansas City prior to landing on the injured list, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks across 3.1 innings with four strikeouts. The veteran is likely to be activated in the near future, with a multi-inning role out of the bullpen his likely role upon reinstatement.

Scoreless rehab outing Falter allowed a hit and no walks with three strikeouts across two scoreless innings with Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

Impact Falter performed well in his second rehab appearance as he works back from left elbow inflammation, retiring six of seven batters with three strikeouts. The left-hander's fastball averaged 92.6 mph, mirroring his velocity prior to being sidelined. In two relief appearances for the Royals earlier this season, Falter allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks across 3.1 innings with four strikeouts. While the next move has yet to be determined, the 28-year-old could be activated and return to the Kansas City bullpen shortly.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two runs in rehab outing Falter (elbow) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over one inning with Triple-A Omaha on Wednesday. He struck out one.

Impact Falter made his first rehab appearance as he works his way back from left elbow inflammation. It wasn't a strong outing for the southpaw, as after opening the frame with a strikeout, he allowed loud contact and traffic on the basepaths that resulted in two runs. Prior to landing on the injured list, Falter made two relief appearances for the Royals, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks across 3.1 innings with four strikeouts. His next rehab outing is scheduled for Saturday, barring any setbacks.
