Steps back on mound Falter (biceps) completed a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Falter landed on the injured list Aug. 23 due to a left biceps contusion, but his ability to resume throwing off a mound one week later suggests he won't be in store for an extended stay on the shelf. The Royals are expected to re-evaluate early this week before deciding on if he's ready to take the next step in the recovery process by facing hitters.

Placed on IL The Royals placed Falter on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a left bicep contusion.
Impact Falter surrendered four runs in two innings of relief Friday, and he'll hit the injured list a day later due to a bruised bicep on his throwing arm. The 28-year-old has an 11.25 ERA in 12 innings since being traded to the Royals near the deadline. Jonathan Bowlan was recalled from Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Roughed up out of bullpen Falter (7-7) took the loss Friday against Detroit. He allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two over two innings.
Impact Falter was roughed up in relief Friday, giving up three runs without recording an out in the seventh inning and ultimately yielding four runs across two frames. Since joining Kansas City, the left-hander has labored, allowing nine earned runs over eight innings in two starts before being shifted to the bullpen. That move hasn't stabilized things either, as he's surrendered six earned runs in four innings out of relief.

Moved to bullpen Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Wednesday that Falter will move to the bullpen, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
Impact Michael Lorenzen (oblique) is ready to rejoin the rotation this weekend, and it's Falter who will shift to relief to accommodate Lorenzen's return. Falter has been pummeled for nine runs on 11 hits and five walks over eight innings in two starts since the Royals acquired him at the trade deadline. The lefty is likely to be used in a mop-up role.

Perez and Isbel 2-run homers in the 6th inning power the Royals to a 7-4 win over the Nationals
Salvadore Perez and Kyle Isbel hit two-run homers in the sixth inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Washington Nationals 7-4 on Monday nightAUGUST 12 • Associated Press
Lasts four frames in no-decision Falter did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-4 victory over Washington. He allowed two runs on three hits and three walks in four innings with five strikeouts.
Impact The 28-year-old southpaw couldn't last the five innings required for a win in this 76-pitch outing. Falter conceded a two-run homer to Josh Bell in the opening frame, as he's now coughed up nine runs across nine innings with the Royals after arriving at the trade deadline. Through 121.1 total innings with Kansas City and Pittsburgh, Falter has pitched to a 4.15 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 77:44 K:BB while yielding 19 long balls. He is currently scheduled to make his next start at home against the White Sox this weekend.

Tagged early in Royals debut Falter (7-6) took the loss against the Red Sox on Monday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks with two strikeouts over four innings.
Impact Falter was mostly undone by a five-run first inning and managed just one scoreless frame in a lackluster debut with his new club. The southpaw generated only six whiffs on 88 pitches, though a Jarren Duran homer was the lone extra-base hit he allowed. He owns a 4.14 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 72:41 K:BB across 117.1 innings and is tentatively slated for a home matchup with the Nationals early next week.

Longest MLB Home Runs in July: Where Do Ronald Acuña's Blasts Rank?
Here are the top 10 longest home runs from July, including two by Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr.AUGUST 4 • FOX SPORTS
Set for team debut Monday Falter is slated to start Monday's game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Impact The left-hander will step into the rotation for what will be his Royals debut after Kansas City acquired him from Pittsburgh on Thursday in exchange for left-hander Evan Sisk and first baseman Callan Moss. Falter's 15.3 percent strikeout rate on the season is second-lowest among qualified starters in the majors, but he's induced weak contact at a high enough clip to net a 3.73 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 113.1 innings. His fantasy outlook is unlikely to change dramatically for the worse or better as he heads from Pittsburgh to Kansas City.
