Starting in place of an injured Michael Fulmer, Pelfrey allowed six hits and five earned runs in 2.1 innings in Monday's spring training loss to the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Pelfrey cruised through the first two innings, then allowed hits to five of the six Baltimore batters he faced in the third. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said the team's pitching has been "awful" this spring, and Pelfrey has been part of the problem, as he's now struggled in consecutive outings. He's on the outside looking in at a rotation spot, and he might end up not even making the roster in a relief role.
