Daily News | Phillies will call up Bailey Falter to start Wednesday, as two starters remain on COVID list
Jose F. Moreno/ Staff PhotographerSEATTLE — One way or another, the Phillies’ starting rotation depth was going to be challenged this season.With neither Zack Wheeler nor Zach Eflin cleared to return from COVID-19 protocols, left-hander Bailey Falter joined the team here Tuesday and will be added to the roster to start Wednesday’s matinee series finale against the Seattle Mariners.
Girardi said “there’s a chance” that Wheeler or Eflin, or both, will be allowed to return by then. But it’s too early say for sure. Vaccinated players must be cleared by MLB to be reinstated. Unvaccinated players aren’t cleared until they submit two negative PCR tests.Francisco Morales’ debut, Ranger Suárez’s solid start, and a memorable night for the Phillies scout who signed them
Falter and fellow left-hander Cristopher Sánchez are effectively the Phillies’ sixth and seventh starters. They have combined for a total of three major-league starts and 38 appearances — and a 5.45 ERA. Hans Crouse, also on the 40-man roster, has an 11.05 ERA in three triple-A starts this season. It begs the question of whether the Phillies whiffed in not adding another depth starter in the offseason. They addressed the bullpen with Brad Hand and Jeurys Familia, beefed up the lineup with Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos, and even brought back Odúbel Herrera to play center field.They may regret that decision over the next few days.Rookie shortstop Bryson Stott began Tuesday night on the bench with the Phillies facing a left-handed starter .
