Tigers' Mike Pelfrey: Lost 25 pounds in offseason

Pelfrey lost 25 pounds in the offseason and hopes to lose more during spring training to regain flexibility, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

Pelfrey, who went 4-10 with a 5.19 ERA in 2016, is competing for a rotation spot this spring. However, he is likely destined to begin the season in the bullpen. Perhaps the conditioning will help him improve his stats, but Pelfrey offers very little fantasy value either way, especially if he's working as a long reliever.
