2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
There were a number of Pirates pitchers whose names were floated around at the trade deadline, but it was Falter who ended up being shipped out to the Royals. The 28-year-old southpaw was a serviceable back-end starter for Pittsburgh, posting a 7-5 record in 22 starts with a 3.73 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 113.1 innings. However, it was a much different story in Kansas City, where Falter yielded 15 runs across 12 innings and was moved over to the bullpen before being shut down in late August due to a biceps contusion. He should be available for spring training, but there is uncertainty around what Falter's role will be in 2026. Last year, he finished in the bottom 20 percentile of qualified pitchers in whiff rate, strikeout rate, xERA, xBA and groundball rate, so Falter wouldn't provide much value in roto leagues even if he was part of the Royals' rotation by Opening Day.
