Lovelady has been deployed exclusively as a short reliever in his last 3 appearances: 0.2 IP (1 K), 0.2 IP (1 K), 1.0 IP (1 K). He has not recorded more than 1 K in any outing since May. Even in a nominal 'starter' role with 107 days of rest, his established relief pattern and low per-outing volume make clearing 1.5 Ks extremely difficult. The -208 price reflects market consensus, and the underlying usage data fully supports it.
