Daily News | Phillies will push back struggling lefty Bailey Falter’s next start
With left-hander Ranger Suárez poised to make his season debut Saturday night in Colorado and two days off this week, including Thursday, the Phillies decided to skip Falter’s turn in the rotation. He won’t start until Monday night in San Francisco.Advertisement
Falter has never overpowered hitters with velocity. But his fastball has lacked even its usual zip so far this season, averaging 90.5 mph through seven starts. Last year, Falter averaged 91.4 mph. After allowing three earned runs in 10⅓ innings over his first two starts, Falter has a 7.01 ERA in his last five starts. He has given up at least three runs in each of those starts and failed to complete five innings in three of them.“Very frustrated,” Falter said. “It’s not a good feeling going out there and letting your team down every start.”
