DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers right-hander Mike Pelfrey will not be activated off the disabled list when he becomes eligible this week. Charlie Lindgren Jersey . The 32-year-old starter, who is suffering from a lower back injury, said he wont make a rehab start for another week to 10 days.After that, he will require at least two rehab appearances to build up the strength in his arm, manager Brad Ausmus confirmed in his pregame press briefing on Monday.Pelfrey said he suffered a strain of the multifidus muscle near his spine and was placed on the disabled list after his back locked up earlier this month. Following that episode -- he had to be helped up by his teammates -- he also experienced pain and back spasms. Those symptoms have since subsided, but Pelfrey will take a steady approach toward his return rather than risk reaggravating the injury.I think Im getting old, Pelfrey joked. Thats the first time I pulled a muscle. I dont think that happens when youre younger.The 6-7 Pelfrey (4-9, 4.76 ERA) began physical therapy last week and has noted improvement ever since. He is now playing catch and will throw a side session on Friday, according to Ausmus.Following a rough start to his tenure in Detroit, Pelfrey, who inked a two-year, $16 million contract this offseason, appeared to be pitching with increased efficiency in recent starts. Prior to his injury, he threw five scoreless innings on July 31 against the Houston Astros. He was placed on the 15-day DL on Aug. 2.Right now, I think my whole mindset is just trying to get back and pitch, said Pelfrey, who had to refrain from traveling with the team on its recent road trip as well. I didnt really feel like Im part of the team for two weeks, being gone, so the whole thing is, I just want to get back and pitch and help these guys out.The Tigers are without two of their five starters with Jordan Zimmermann (neck) also on the DL. The Tigers, who are limping along with injuries to third baseman Nick Castellanos (hand), shortstop Jose Iglesias?(hamstring) and center fielder Cameron Maybin (thumb), received some positive news on the injury front on Monday. Maybin is feeling better and is expected to begin a hitting progression within the next few days, Ausmus said. Jonathan Drouin Jersey .
