Jeffress recorded just one out and was tagged for three runs on two hits and three walks in Tuesday's 11-6 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffress entered the season seemingly positioned as the top understudy to closer Sam Dyson, but the right-hander's erratic control has resulted in him plummeting down the depth chart. In addition to tying a season high in issuing three walks, Jeffress also had a wild pitch with the bases loaded, allowing the Red Sox to build a six-run lead. Jeffress now owns an anemic 9:11 K:BB to go with a 6.75 ERA and 2.13 WHIP over 17.1 innings this season.
