⚾ Which Phillies pitcher will step up to claim the 5th starter role? NBCSPhilly
Bailey Falter, who makes his second start of the spring Tuesday afternoon against the Rays, has to be viewed now as the heavy favorite to win the fifth starter's job. Other options include lefties Michael Plassmeyer and Cristopher Sanchez.
Sanchez, for that matter, has yet to appear in a spring training game after experiencing back issues earlier in camp. He is slated to pitch Tuesday after Falter. The 26-year-old made starts of five and six innings for the Phils last summer. Falter went 1⅓ innings last Thursday in his first action of the spring, allowing a run to the Red Sox on three hits and a walk. Rafael Devers and Justin Turner had hard-hit singles in the first inning and Christian Arroyo homered off of Falter in the second.
Falter, who turns 26 in a month, made 16 starts for the Phillies last season and another in the playoffs. From July 29 through September 13, Falter posted a 2.52 ERA and the Phillies went 6-0 in his starts. He had an even 3.00 ERA over his final 10. Another option for the Phillies if they don't like what they see this month from their own internal candidates is to explore what's left in free agency. There isn't much, but veterans Mike Minor, Michael Pineda and Dylan Bundy are unsigned. All are coming off of poor seasons. The trade market is another avenue if/when another veteran starter or two is deemed expendable later in the month.
