PITTSBURGH — Starter Bailey Falter has been placed on the 15-day injured list with left triceps tendonitis by the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 27-year-old left-hander lasted two innings on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and leaving with the bases loaded and no outs in the third inning of a 5-2 loss to the New York Mets. Falter is 4-7 with a 4.08 ERA this season, his first full one in Pittsburgh after being acquired from Philadelphia last August. Falter is the second Pirates starter to land on the IL in the past four days. Rookie right-hander Jared Jones left five innings into his start on Wednesday, going on the 15-day list because of a right lat strain the next day.
