Injury Report
Elbow - 60-day DL. Out for season (Updated - 5/4/12)
Fantasy Analysis
Pelfrey went on the 15-day disabled list last Tuesday, after reporting tightness and pain in the elbow during his last outing Saturday in which he allowed one run in eight innings against San Francisco. A subsequent MRI revealed the partial tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his pitching elbow. It's unclear if Pelfrey will be ready for spring training next year, but he should be dropped in all Fantasy formats following his surgery. (Updated 05/04/2012).

The Mets aren't completely sold on Mike Pelfrey. They toyed with making him a closer late last season and considered giving up on him entirely this offseason. But for all his shortcomings, he is a steady contributor in one category: innings. He has thrown at least 180 over the last four seasons, averaging 195 2/3 during that stretch, and for a rebuilding team like the Mets, which has so few certainties in the starting rotation, those innings count for something. Unfortunately, if they're sure to be mediocre, they're not much good to Fantasy owners, especially given the increase in high-end pitchers over the last couple seasons. Pelfrey has been a viable mixed-league option in the past, winning 13 games with a 3.72 ERA in 2008 and 15 games with a 3.66 ERA in 2010, but his career-best in WHIP is only 1.36, which isn't good enough for a non-strikeout pitcher. Maybe if Pelfrey played for a team like the Yankees or Red Sox -- one with the offensive firepower to give him 15-17 victories just by accumulating innings -- he'd be worth your while, but on the rebuilding Mets, he's a long shot to win even a dozen games. With a step forward unlikely in his age-28 season, Pelfrey is an option better left for NL-only formats. (Updated 1/11/12)
