Falter (tricep) struck out three batters and allowed two earned runs on five hits and no walks in three innings in his rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Indianapolis.

Falter tossed 60 pitches (42 strikes) in the rehab start, which could be the only outing he needs in the minors before making his way back from the 15-day injured list. The Pirates have an open spot in the rotation for Tuesday's game in Houston, and Falter would be available on five days' rest to fill the opening. If Falter is in fact activated to start Tuesday, he could be on a slight workload restriction for what would be his first outing with the Pirates since July 6.
