  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: 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.

    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.

  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: No-decision in final outing

    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.

    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 after 62 pitches. The 27-year-old 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) made him a low-upside fantasy option.

  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: 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.

    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.

  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: One out shy of quality start

    Falter (8-8) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings, taking the loss Tuesday versus the Cardinals.

    Falter had gone 4-0 with a 4.46 ERA over his last eight outings. He was not the Pirates' problem Tuesday -- a lack of offense was the cause of this loss. For the season, Falter has a 4.15 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 92:41 K:BB across 134.1 innings over 26 starts. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Brewers as he continues to audition for a spot in the Pirates' 2025 rotation.

  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: Blanks Marlins for eighth win

    Falter (8-7) earned the win Wednesday over Miami, allowing two hits and three walks over 7.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.

    Falter was excellent, holding the Marlins to just a pair of singles. The scoreless effort marked Falter's first quality start since June 18 -- he hadn't gone more than 5.2 innings in any of his previous 10 outings, posting a 5.79 ERA in that span. The left-hander's ERA now sits at 4.20 on the season with a 1.27 WHIP and 89:39 K:BB across 128.2 innings. Falter's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Cardinals in his next outing.

  • Pirates' Bailey Falter: Settles down for seventh win

    Falter (7-7) earned the win Thursday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings against the Nationals. He struck out three.

    Falter's outing did not begin well as he allowed three runs in the first, capped by a two-run homer by Andres Chaparro. Falter then settled down, allowing no more runs through his final four innings while the anemic Pirates' offense scored six to put him in position for his seventh win. Falter progressively improved throughout his start, retiring the Nationals in order for the first time in the fifth to close out his outing on a high note. Despite setting a new career-high with his seventh win, the nine batters to reach base marked the fifth straight start Falter has allowed at least eight baserunners while pitching fewer than six innings, holding a 6.85 ERA and 1.82 WHIP during that stretch. His next start is currently slated to take place in Pittsburgh against the Marlins.
