Astros manager Bo Porter said Monday that Brad Peacock will be moved to the bullpen.

It doesn't come as a big surprise, as Peacock allowed five runs in 3 1/3 innings against the Red Sox on Saturday and now owns an ugly 8.44 ERA through 21 1/3 innings this season. The Astros are currently mulling over who will take his place in the rotation Thursday against the Tigers.

Brad Peacock turned in another disappointing performance in Saturday’s loss to the Red Sox, allowing five earned runs on six hits over just 3 1/3 innings.

Peacock struggled with his command, issuing five free passes and throwing only 51 of his 90 pitches for strikes. He now owns a horrifying 8.44 ERA and 1.83 WHIP through 21 1/3 innings this season and could soon be demoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City. If the Astros grant him another turn, he'll face off against the Tigers.

Brad Peacock was hammered for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings Monday in a loss to the Mariners.

Peacock was touched up for nine hits, including three home runs. He has a 7.50 ERA through four starts and has completed five innings in just one of them. The rookie right-hander can't be trusted in fantasy leagues, especially with a matchup against the Red Sox this weekend at Fenway Park.

Brad Peacock recorded his first major league victory after allowing three runs in five-plus innings Wednesday against the Mariners.

Peacock gave up homers to Kelly Shoppach and Franklin Gutierrez, but he was backed by another Astros offensive outburst in the 8-3 win. Newly reconfigured Safeco yielded five more homers tonight after the eight bombs Tuesday. Peacock is 1-1 with a 4.82 ERA after two starts. AL-only leagues should continue to stay away.

Brad Peacock gave up two runs in 4 1/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Athletics.

Facing his former team, Peacock gave up three hits (including a leadoff homer to Coco Crisp) and three walks while striking out five. He threw 47 out of 89 pitches for strikes. While the rookie right-hander didn't give up many runs, he just wasn't very efficient. The Astros aren't providing much run support right now, so there's no reason to use him in most fantasy leagues.

Brad Peacock threw three scoreless innings Saturday in the Astros' 6-3 defeat of the Cubs.

It was a nice final tuneup for Peacock, who was officially named the Astros' fourth starter on Thursday. He posted a 6.01 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 139/66 K/BB ratio in 134 2/3 innings last season. Ignore him in standard leagues.

Brad Peacock has been named the Astros' fourth starter.

That means Alex White will open the 2013 season in the bullpen. Peacock posted a rough 6.01 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 139/66 K/BB ratio in 134 2/3 innings last season for the A's Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento. The 25-year-old right-hander can be ignored in most fantasy leagues.

Brad Peacock enhanced his chances at winning the final spot in the Astros' rotation Tuesday, holding the Yankees to one run over five innings.

He recorded two hits, two walks and one punchout. Peacock is in a battle with Alex White for the last spot in the 'Stros rotation, and his numbers have easily outdistanced his competitor. The former Rockie has posted a 3.26 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 15/6 K/BB ratio over 19 2/3 frames, while White holds a 6.86 ERA, 2.03 WHIP and 10/7 K/BB ratio over the same number of innings. Houston will make a decision soon.

Brad Peacock bolstered his rotation candidacy by pitching three scoreless innings and striking out five against the Tigers on Thursday.

He earned a save for the performance, but that's spring training for you. With Erik Bedard likely in, there's one spot left in Houston's rotation for either Alex White or Peacock. White should be the favorite, but Peacock has turned in three excellent outings in a row to make it a competition.

Brad Peacock held the Pirates to a run over five innings in a loss Friday.

After a really rough start to his spring, Peacock has come on nicely, allowing run over eight innings in his last two starts. He still belongs in Triple-A at the start of the year, but he hasn't been ruled out of the rotation competition yet.

Facing the team that drafted him, Brad Peacock yielded three runs -- two earned -- in two-thirds of an inning Tuesday versus the Nationals.

Some speculated that Peacock would get a rotation spot after being acquired from the A's in the Jed Lowrie trade last month, but that was never at all likely. He'll have to experience some success in Triple-A to earn his opportunity.

Brad Peacock - S - Astros

Astros acquired RHP Brad Peacock from the Athletics in a five-player trade.

Peacock posted an ugly 6.01 ERA at Triple-A last season, but he struck out over a batter per inning and still boasts middle-of-the-rotation upside. The 25-year-old should get a chance to compete for a rotation spot with the Astros, something he wouldn't have had a shot to do in Oakland.

Athletics assigned RHP Brad Peacock to minor league camp.

Peacock yielded 12 hits and 11 runs (10 earned) this spring in three Cactus League appearances. He hasn't been completely ruled out of the A's fifth-starter competition, but the 24-year-old right-hander will not travel with the team on its season-opening trip to Japan.

Brad Peacock was pummeled again Thursday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over 2 1/3 innings of work against the Rangers.

He needed 61 pitches to cover the 2 1/3 innings. Peacock was decent in his last start, but this is the second time he's been blasted this spring, and he now holds a 12.86 ERA and 5/7 K/BB ratio over seven innings. He'll have to improve in a hurry if he wants to crack the Opening Day rotation.
