Pelfrey had been doing really well of late, until getting pounded a bit on Wednesday. For his 20th start of the season he has a good opportunity to get back on track with a team that, much like the Twins, is trying to figure out who the hell can help them out next season.
Peacock is back with the Astros after making five starts in April and then four bullpen appearances before getting optioned to Triple-A for being rubbish. Houston had claimed Wade LeBlanc off of waivers and needed the roster spot. In 2011, Peacock threw 12 innings for the Nationals.
Performing well at Triple-A, Peacock posted a 2.73 ERA in 13 starts and a relief appearance. He struck out 76 in 79 innings while walking 22 and giving up 65 hits. Prior to 2012, Baseball America considered him the game's #36 prospect while MLB.com had him listed at # 75. He didn't make either list this season after posting a 6.01 ERA in his first full stint at Triple-A in 2012.
