Michael Lorenzen will be reinstated from the injured list, prompting Bailey Falter to shift to the bullpen. Falter performed well earlier in the season but struggled in his recent starts with the Royals. Despite logging 113 1/3 innings for the Pirates, his metrics suggest he may have benefited from good fortune, as indicated by his low strikeout rate and high earned run average metrics. In contrast, Ryan Bergert has shown promising performance with the Royals, allowing minimal earned runs in his starts since the trade deadline.
Bailey Falter has been moved to the bullpen after Michael Lorenzen's reinstatement, despite Falter having a good season overall with a 3.73 earned run average.
Falter's recent starts with the Royals have not been successful, allowing seven earned runs in one start and two earned runs in another, both lasting four innings.
Despite Falter's earlier success, he had a strikeout rate of only 15.3% and metrics like a 4.88 FIP indicate he may have been lucky earlier in the season.
Ryan Bergert has posted strong performances since the trade deadline, allowing only two earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in his recent starts.
