Tosses seven shutout innings Falter (1-2) earned the win against the Nationals on Wednesday, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out two across seven scoreless innings.

Impact Falter needed just 83 pitches (of which 57 were strikes) to get through seven scoreless frames, allowing only three baserunners in the process. It was his second quality start in four tries and a nice bounce-back effort for the 26-year-old southpaw, who yielded 12 runs (10 earned) in his two outings prior to Wednesday's contest. Falter will look to make it two wins in a row in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Angels.

Impact Falter got into trouble quickly Friday, allowing the first three batters he faced to reach on walks. A double play kept hope alive that he'd be able to get through the first inning with minimal damage, though those hopes quickly evaporated when Jeimer Candelario smacked a ball 384 feet into the left field bleachers. Two more walks and a wild pitch allowed Cincinnati to score two more runs in the third frame and would keep the Reds in front for the rest of the game. Falter now owns a 7.20 ERA through 15 innings across his first three starts, and he's lined up to make his next start at home against the Nationals.

Allows seven runs in loss Falter (0-1) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings.

Impact Falter entered the fifth inning with a 4-1 lead but was unable to record an out, ultimately surrendering six runs in the frame. Despite generating an impressive 14 swinging strikes on 88 pitches, the southpaw was tagged for two home runs by Trent Grisham. He'll take an ugly 8.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB across 10 innings into a road matchup with the Reds next weekend.

Logs quality start in no-decision Falter did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Falter started strong with four scoreless innings but exited in a 2-2 tie after giving up runs in the fifth and sixth frames. The 27-year-old was efficient, throwing 56 strikes on 87 pitches and generating nine whiffs. He's slated for a tough matchup with the Yankees next weekend.

Good to go Monday Falter (general soreness) is scheduled to start Monday's split-squad game against the Tigers, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Falter was scratched from his spring start Thursday as a precautionary measure due to general soreness, but he'll be ready to take the mound a few days later. The left-hander will begin the season at the back end of Pittsburgh's rotation after finishing 2024 with a 4.43 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 97:45 K:BB over 142.1 innings.

Impact Pirates senior director of sports medicine Todd Tomczyk said the move to scratch Falter was made out of an "abundance of precaution," adding that Falter will instead play catch again Thursday before the team determines the next steps. Falter is expected to have a spot in the Pittsburgh rotation to begin the season, but this unspecified issue could throw a wrench into those plans if it delays the lefty longer than expected, with Opening Day just two weeks away.

Should have rotation spot Falter is projected to begin the season in the Pirates' rotation, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Impact Falter's role was precarious after Andrew Heaney was signed, though Bubba Chandler was since reassigned to Triple-A and Johan Oviedo (lat) placed on the 60-day injured list. That should keep Falter in the rotation to begin the campaign. In two spring starts, he has allowed two earned runs across 4.2 innings with a 7:3 K:BB.

Gets $2.22 million for 2025 Falter and the Pirates avoided arbitration by agreeing Thursday to a one-year, $2.22 million contract, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Falter was arbitration-eligible for the first time, coming off a 2024 campaign in which he covered a career-high 142.1 innings over 28 starts for the Pirates. The southpaw was decent enough as a back-end rotation arm with a 4.43 ERA and 1.29 WHIP, but a career-worst 16.5 percent strikeout rate doesn't inspire much confidence in his ability to take any sort of major step forward. Even though he should be in good shape to retain a rotation spot heading into 2025, Falter's fantasy utility will likely be limited to deeper mixed leagues or NL-only leagues.

Four earned runs with zero K's Falter did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing four earned runs on four hits and three walks in three innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

Impact Falter's first two pitches of the contest were both laced for extra-base hits -- a double by Gleyber Torres and a two-run shot by Trent Grisham. Falter never fully recovered, allowing two more runs in the third inning before being pulled for good after 62 pitches. The 27-year-old Falter started a career-high 28 games for the Pirates in 2024, finishing with a respectable 4.43 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 97:45 K:BB in 142.1 innings. Although the southpaw showed improvement from previous seasons, his paltry 6.3 K/9 (eighth percentile) makes him a low-upside fantasy option for the foreseeable future.

Falls to Brewers Falter (8-9) took the loss Tuesday against Milwaukee, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact Faltner's now dropped back-to-back outings, allowing six runs over 10.2 innings in that span, after going eight starts without a loss. The left-hander will carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 97:42 K:BB into his final start of the year, currently scheduled for this weekend on the road versus the Yankees.
