Bailey Falter has been designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves just two games into his tenure with the team. The left-hander, who spent nearly a decade in the Philadelphia Phillies’ system and had faced the Phillies days prior, pitched one and one-third scoreless innings in his last appearance. Falter’s journey included being a part of Pittsburgh Pirates and Kansas City Royals before joining the Braves. Now, he may clear waivers and be outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett, but he could also opt for free agency, potentially forfeiting guaranteed salary by rejecting the assignment.
