Pelfrey gave up two runs on six hits and five walks while striking out two batters over 3.2 innings against the Orioles on Monday. He did not factor into the decision in the White Sox's 10-7 loss.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander began the game with a walk to Seth Smith, and his struggles finding the strike zone continued throughout the abbreviated start. Pelfrey needed 83 pitches to record 11 outs and has now failed to go more than 5.1 innings in all but one of his 10 outings. The White Sox don't have a slew of ready alternatives, but both James Shields (shoulder) and Carlos Rodon (biceps) are getting closer, which means Pelfrey may not be long for the rotation.
