Pelfrey warmed up in the bullpen two days after throwing 45 pitches in a start, Paul Skrbina of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pelfrey said it was his normal between-starts throwing day and that he was preparing in case the White Sox needed him to pitch in relief, however, seeing one of Chicago's starting pitchers warm up in the bullpen fueled speculation that the White Sox are preparing to call up one or more of their young starting prospects from Triple-A Charlotte. If not in time for Pelfrey's next scheduled start Tuesday, Reynaldo Lopez and/or Lucas Giolito are expected to be called him soon.

Pelfrey (3-8) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings during Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Pelfrey had allowed three runs or fewer in nine of his previous 11 starts to post a serviceable 3.93 ERA and 7.2 K/9. He wasn't quite as sharp Thursday, and with a 5.51 FIP for the campaign, fantasy expectations should probably remain in check. Outside of the deepest settings, Pelfrey is likely only worth utilizing as a streaming option or low-priced flier in daily contests when facing a weak opponent. The veteran righty projects to face the Blue Jays at Guaranteed Rate Field in his next start.

Pelfrey allowed one run on two hits and six walks while striking out four over five-plus innings in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Pelfrey pitched five scoreless innings before walking the first batter he faced in the sixth inning, turning over Chicago's 2-0 lead to David Holmberg, who allowed three home runs in the sixth inning. The White Sox have lost eight straight and have signaled their pivot toward next year when Jose Quintana was traded and Yoan Moncada was called up. Part of the pivot means moving on from Pelfrey, who has pitched well at times but is taking important developmental innings from young prospects like Reynaldo Lopez, Lucas Giolito or Carson Fulmer.

Pelfrey allowed just two runs -- one earned -- on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters through only 4.2 innings during Saturday's loss to Seattle. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

With a 4.64 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 5.9 K/9, Pelfrey isn't moving the fantasy needle in the majority of settings. His 5.39 FIP suggests there might even be rougher times ahead, too. The White Sox are also likely to unload assets from their roster leading into the trade deadline, so it's probably best to continue avoiding Pelfrey outside of the deepest leagues. He projects to make his next start against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Pelfrey will make his first start of the second half Saturday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The White Sox are juggling the rotation out of the All-Star break. Following Pelfrey, it will be Derek Holland, Migeul Gonzalez and finally Carlos Rodon to close out the rotation's first full turn. Pelfrey owns a 4.83 ERA and 1.46 WHIP over 14 starts with a brutal 46:32 K:BB, so he may not be long for Chicago's rotation in the second half.

Pelfrey allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.1 innings in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Pelfrey's had some positive moments this season and whittled his ERA down to 3.56 back on June 17, but he's been knocked around pretty good since. The right-hander's allowed 12 runs and three home runs over his last 13 innings, spanning three starts. Wednesday's start was his final one before the All-Star break.

Pelfrey coughed up five runs on eight hits -- including two home runs -- and two walks over five innings Friday but escaped with a no-decision in Friday's 8-7 win over the Rangers. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old was headed for his seventh loss of the year before the White Sox rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to win it. Pelfrey's 4.13 ERA isn't supported by his 41:28 K:BB in 65.1 innings, so there may be further regression coming Wednesday on the road against the A's.

Pelfrey (3-6) gave up three runs on four hits and five walks over 4.2 innings in Friday's 3-0 loss to the A's. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

With the White Sox offense silent on the night, Pelfrey was doomed to a loss right from the jump as Khris Davis launched a two-run homer off him in the first inning, but the veteran righty's inability to find the plate did him no favors. He's been fortunate so far this season to have a 3.73 ERA, but that mark will be in jeopardy in his next start Thursday at home against a Yankees lineup that leads the league in wOBA against right-handers.

Pelfrey allowed one run over six innings while notching five strikeouts and no walks en route to a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran was able to navigate through the Toronto lineup with relative ease Saturday as he needed just 86 pitches to get through six innings to earn his second quality start of the season. What's more, he was able to keep the Blue Jays' hitters off balance despite taking the mound on just two full days of rest after making a brief relief appearance Wednesday against the Orioles. He'll face the A's at home in his next turn in the rotation Friday. Pelfrey has done some of his best work at home this season as he owns a 3.04 ERA with 18 strikeouts and 10 walks over 23.2 innings at Guaranteed Rate Field.

Pelfrey pitched the final inning of Wednesday's 10-6 loss to Baltimore. He struck out one in a scoreless inning.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Rick Renteria said Pelfrey, who is currently in the White Sox's starting rotation, was just getting in his side work and remains scheduled to start Saturday in Toronto.
