Jake Peavy was charged with four earned runs on four hits over six innings in a loss Sunday against the Angels.
Peavy struggled with his control (five walks), but allowed just four hits and had seven strikeouts. After giving up consecutive two run innings, he retired the last seven batters he faced. It ends a streak of five-straight games in which Peavy had surrendered two or fewer runs. Peavy shouldn't have any trouble getting back on track in his next start Saturday vs. the Marlins.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy allowed two runs over seven innings as the White Sox beat the Twins 4-2 on Tuesday.

Peavy was masterful again, allowing just five hits while striking out six. The right-hander now owns a 5-1 record, 2.96 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through seven starts and has only turned in one clunker of the bunch. After missing a start in early May due to back discomfort, Peavy seems to be feeling just fine. The struggling Angels are next on the agenda for Peavy.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy allowed one run over 6 2/3 innings in the White Sox' 6-3 win over the Mets on Wednesday.

Peavy hadn't started since April 26 due to back discomfort, but he seemed to be fine Wednesday. Peavy allowed just three hits while striking out six, and he earned his fourth win of the year as a result. The right-hander now owns a 3.03 ERA and 1.06 WHIP, and if he can stay healthy -- always the caveat when it comes to Peavy -- he should have another great year. His next start will come Tuesday against the Twins.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy (back) has been cleared to make his next scheduled start, Wednesday against the Mets.

Peavy was scratched from an outing last week because of back discomfort but he made it through a bullpen session on Monday morning in Kansas City and was given a thumbs up from the White Sox medical staff. The 31-year-old right-hander is 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 39/6 K/BB ratio in 32 innings (five starts) this season. He's a safe fantasy start in New York.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

White Sox manager Robin Ventura wouldn't rule out that Jake Peavy (back) might have to go on the disabled list.

Peavy was scratched from his start Thursday and then again on Monday due to back discomfort. He'll continue to get treatment before determining the next step. If Peavy needs to be placed on the 15-day DL, Hector Santiago would likely remain in Chicago's rotation.

Jake Peavy (back) will not start for the White Sox on Monday afternoon against the Royals.

Peavy was scratched from his May 2 start due to back stiffness and still isn't feeling too hot. White Sox manager Robin Ventura suggested Chris Sale or Hector Santiago could make the start in Peavy's absence. The veteran right-hander could be headed to the 15-day DL.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

White Sox manager Robin Ventura is hoping that Jake Peavy (back) will be ready to start on Sunday.

Peavy was scratched from his scheduled outing Thursday after his back locked up on him during stretching on Wednesday. While Ventura is hoping the veteran right-hander will need just a few days of rest, it's no guarantee that he'll be ready to take the ball on Sunday.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy (back) has no timetable for when he'll make his next start.

Peavy was scratched from his scheduled start on Thursday after he tweaked his back during stretching on Wednesday. He's still dealing with discomfort, but the White Sox are hoping the symptoms will dissipate over the next few days. If he can't start next Wednesday against the Mets, Hector Santiago would likely fill in.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy was scratched from his scheduled Thursday start against the Rangers due to back spasms.

Hector Santiago will take the mound instead against the dangerous Texas lineup. Peavy, who has registered a spectacular 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 39/6 K/BB ratio over 32 innings this season, is considered day-to-day.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy gave up three runs in 6 2/3 innings in a 5-4 win over the Rays on Friday night.

Peavy was down 3-0 after four innings after a pair of solo homers and an RBI single, but he managed to hang in there long enough for his offense to battle back. The veteran right-hander gave up six hits and one walk in the victory and notched six strikeouts. Aside from his ugly start against the Nationals on April 9, Peavy has been excellent. He'll bring a 3.38 ERA into a start against the Rangers next week in Texas.

Jake Peavy limited the Twins to one run over seven innings Saturday but took a no-decision.

Peavy deserved his third victory but got very little help from his offense. He scattered six hits and four walks while racking up nine strikeouts. The 31-year-old right-hander now owns a 3.20 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 33/5 K/BB ratio through 25 1/3 innings this season.

Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy spun seven innings of one-run ball while striking out 11 in Sunday's 3-1 victory over the Indians.

Michael Bourn deposited Peavy's first pitch of the game into the right-field seats, but the veteran right-hander gave up just four singles after that and didn't walk a batter. Peavy had one bad inning last week against the Nationals, but he's otherwise been quite impressive this season. He'll carry a 3.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 24/1 K/BB ratio over 18 1/3 frames into his next start versus the Twins.
Apr 14 - 4:32 PM
Jake Peavy - S - White Sox

Jake Peavy struck out seven but allowed six runs over 5 1/3 innings in Tuesday's loss to the Nationals.

A four-run sixth did Peavy in, and he later admitted that the heat got to him a bit. He served up home runs to three of the last nine batters he faced. The veteran righty pitched well in his first start this season and should bounce back this weekend in Cleveland.
