Bailey Falter was lit up for seven runs in 2 1/3 innings by the Yankees in a loss Tuesday.

Falter’s stuff just isn’t where it needs to be after he missed time with elbow inflammation, and he ended tonight with zero strikeouts and 13 hard-hit balls surrendered. The Royals won’t want to bail on him just yet, but they probably can’t start him again while he’s throwing like this. If he does take another turn, it’d likely be in Cincinnati on Monday.
