Bailey Falter News: Moved to bullpen

Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Wednesday that Falter will move to the bullpen, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Michael Lorenzen (oblique) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Saturday against the White Sox, and Falter will wind up losing his spot in the rotation as the Royals proceed with a five-man starting staff. Falter has been pummeled for nine runs on 11 hits and five walks over eight innings in two starts since the Royals acquired him from the Pirates on July 31. The lefty is likely to be used in a mop-up role.
