Pelfrey (left leg), slated to throw 90 pitches Sunday, was limited to just 13 as rain caused his back foot to slide before his front foot landed, prompting the Mets to pull him before he suffered an injury, the NY Newsday reports. [...]

Leg issue may have affected Pelfrey

Source (fanball.com) (P - nyn) | 0 comments.

Pitcher Mike Pelfrey may be able to blame part of his rough outing on Tuesday to his sore lower left leg. He has been dealing with a muscle strain between the ankle and shin, and Pelfrey is behind on his conditioning. He allowed one run over four innings against the Astros and then served up four more runs before leaving in the fifth. "They told me I looked a little tired," Pelfrey informs MLB.com. "But I don't want to make excuses."

Our View: These are the times that we're glad it's still spring training. Pelfrey was able to throw 84 pitches, but he didn't show his usual command. He still has a couple weeks to get into better shape and develop more stamina. Don't be surprised if his outings are shorter once we get into April.

News: Mets SP Mike Pelfrey had it in cruise control during Tuesday's spring game against the Astros up until the fifth inning. Pelfrey had allowed just one run over four innings before Houston poured it on in the fifth. The Astros scored six times, charging five to Pelfrey, who only lasted 4 2/3 innings. The big knocks came on a solo homer from Pudge Rodriguez and a bases-clearing double by Geoff Blum. Pelfrey fell to 1-1 while allowing 10 hits, six runs and one walk. He struck out one. [...]

Mike Pelfrey was rocked for six earned runs on 10 hits over 4.2 innings in Tuesday's 8-0 loss to the Astros in the Grapefruit League, with one walk and one strikeout.

Our View: Pelfrey had a nightmarish outing, but should bounce back, and fatasy owners should not be scared off.

News: Mets SP Mike Pelfrey pitched six sharp innings Thursday against the Astros, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with three strikeouts. Making his second start since skipping a turn with a strained muscle in his lower left leg, the right-hander was perfect through the first four innings Thursday. "I was pleased," Pelfrey said. "I thought I did a good job of locating the ball inside and out. I threw a lot of changeups that I thought were very good, I threw some breaking balls I thought were very good, and I think the biggest part today was I threw some front-door sinkers (to lefties) that I was very pleased with." The pitch is a new one for Pelfrey, who had only thrown sinkers inside to right-handers and outside to lefties. He saw fifth-starter contender Livan Hernandez throw the pitch a couple of weeks ago and decided to try it in bullpen sessions before implementing it for the first time in Thursday's game. [...]

Mike Pelfrey allowed one earned run on three hits over six innings in Thursday's 12-1 win over Houston, with one walk and three strikeouts.

News: Mets SP Mike Pelfrey is back on track after missing a turn in the rotation because of a muscle strain in his lower left leg. Pelfrey pitched four scoreless innings in New York's 6-2 loss to the Washington Nationals on Saturday. He gave up two hits and two walks with one strikeout in his first game since March 4. The Nationals didn't take a lead until their six-run ninth inning. Pelfrey said he still felt some discomfort, but nothing serious enough to raise any caution flags. He began feeling pain in his leg during a bullpen session March 6 and was shut down for two days before returning to workouts. "Besides not pitching last week, I think I made a normal progression in my pitch count today," Pelfrey said. "It's kind of like I threw last week. I threw close to 65 pitches today, and I think that would have been normal for my next start, so I feel like I am right there, ready to go." [...]

Mike Pelfrey threw four shutout innings as the Mets fell 6-2 to the Nationals on Saturday. He allowed two hits and two walks, while striking out one.

Our View: Pelfrey possesses the type of sinker that will keep the ball in the park, but he does not generate many strikeouts. He is penciled in as the No. 2 starter for the Mets, but he's not much better than a No. 4 option in most fantasy leagues.

Mike Pelfrey is set to start today's game against the Nationals after missing his last start due to a lower-leg muscle strain, according to the Star-Ledger.

Our View: If healthy, Pelfrey would start the second game of the regular season against Cincinnati on April 8. He was rusty in his bullpen session on Wednesday, so hopefully he will regain his control today.

Pelfrey felt pain in his lower left leg during a bullpen session last Friday and was diagnosed with a mild strain. He said discomfort had declined from eight or nine on a scale of 10 to one or two.

News: Mets right-hander Mike Pelfrey threw a bullpen session Wednesday and is set to return to exhibition play this weekend against Washington. Pelfrey felt pain in his lower left leg during a bullpen session last Friday and was diagnosed with a mild strain. He said discomfort had declined from eight or nine on a scale of 10 to one or two. "Physically I felt it a little bit, but it's a lot better," Pelfrey said. "If it was the regular season, and I had to pitch today, I would." He resumed workouts Monday after skipping a turn and staying inactive just two days. His command was off during Wednesday's session but he thinks he is ready to pitch Saturday and is on track to make his first regular-season start April 8 in Cincinnati. Pelfrey has a 9.00 ERA after one game spring training appearance. He allowed three runs and five hits in three innings with one homer, one walk and three strikeouts. [...]

Our View: Pelfrey deemed himself fit to return to the rotation for Saturday's Grapefruit League game after missing one turn. Barring a setback, he is on target to pitch in the second game of the regular season against the Reds on April 8.

News: Mets SP Mike Pelfrey will be out indefinitely with a muscle strain in his lower left leg. He was examined by team doctors Saturday after feeling discomfort following a bullpen session Friday and was instructed to rest, which means he will miss his next scheduled start Monday. The Mets said Pelfrey would resume his spring preparation when he is free of pain, according to MLB.com. Mets manager Jerry Manuel said an interruption in Pelfrey's spring at this point isn't critical. "The doctor told me it was a very uncommon injury," Pelfrey said, "but that it was one of the better results I could have for an injury in that part of my leg (the front of the leg, about four inches above the ankle). Before I left (for the MRI), they were throwing around all kinds of possibilities -- shin splits, tendinitis, an insect bite, a rash, an infection, (even) a stress fracture. I'm glad it's not a stress fracture. I'd miss a lot of time." [...]

Mike Pelfrey was diagnosed with a strain in his lower leg following a bullpen session on Saturday, according to the New York Daily News. The strain has led to fluid build up in his ankle, but it is reportedly nothing too serious.

Our View: This sounds a little more serious than the writer lets on, so keep an eye on his schedule for the rest of spring as it will likely be altered. Assuming the 25-year-old is healthy, expect his hard sinker to limit opponents' home run power. After a slow start, Pelfrey was a very reliable pitcher for most of the season.
