Peavy will stay in AZ for a week, rejoin team on April 7, then need probably 3-4 rehab starts

Looks like best case scenario at this point is beginning of may then.

 

BRING IT!

After throwing his first bullpen session Sunday since suffering right rotator cuff tendinitis, Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy said he will stay in Arizona to continue his rehabilitation.

 

Peavy said he will rejoin the team in Chicago in time for their homestand that starts April 7, and then probably start a minor league rehabilitation assignment of about three to four starts.

 

Peavy said he felt fine after throwing more than 30 pitches off a mound under the supervision of pitching coach Don Cooper. Manager Ozzie Guillen, bullpen coach Juan Nieves and minor league pitching coaches Kirk Champion and Curt Hasler also observed.

 

Peavy stressed that he would defer to the Sox's medical staff but understands that he will need to build arm strength after not pitching since March 19.

Peavy feels good after throwing

 

By Mark J. Miller

 

Jake PeavyChicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy(notes) didn't throw a ball for eight days due to rotator-cuff tendinitis and then took to the mound Sunday to throw "about 35 pitches" while the team's coaching staff watched his every move, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

 

The paper reports that Peavy "said his shoulder felt OK" and that he's ready for his extended spring training.

 

"So I want to stay here at least for a week or so and get a few side sessions in a game or two, or some simulated work, before I get back with the team," Peavy said, according to the Sun-Times.

Peavy is currently pitching against Sox minor leaguers (and some major leaguers).

 

7 up/7 down, including striking out Quentin.

13 up, 13 down for Peavy. Six outs in his last inning. Three Ks

- 2 of them Quentin, 45 pitches total.

 

I was reading the tweets and getting excited. Then I found out it was "friendly fire".

Way to go Jake, but try not to put TCQ into a slump

Peavy sad he can't break camp with the team. Looking at two rehab starts April 8th and 13th, won't visit Chicago until April 9th. - per Gonzo

 

Not holding my breath but it's looking like a late April early May comeback.

Like I said in the other thread, Humber should start the 9th and 19th, and Peavy should shoot for the 24th or 29th.

Heck his rehab schedule would put him on track for the April 19th slot.

Barring a, you know, setback.

Even better.

 

I'm just a big believer that if you have a crappy 5th starter, and you can skip him without the other four pitching on short rest, you do it.

I still hate the idea of using Mr. "Offday" as starter #5.

Even when that 5th starter is Phillip Humber?

Especially if we're concerned about the weather early in the season, yes. A double header makes things especially hard.

 

Just about every one of our pitchers gets better on extra rest, more than 5 days actually helps these guys. I think there was one who didn't, but it was an iffy comparison, when I looked last year.

Bomb diggity durag.

Ok, I may have to come over to your side on this issue. I did look up the Floyd, Buehrle, and Danks's splits, and indeed, they were all much better on 5 days rest over 4 days rest last year. I guess I won't complain either way on this, but I'd rather only see Humber twice over four times. We'll see how it plays out in April.

Peavy expects to pitch in a similar intrasquad game Sunday and then pitch at Double-A Birmingham or Triple-A Charlotte on April 8. At that point he hopes to be up to 75 pitches

Peavy threw 59 pitches in a simulated game today. No problems.

Goal must be for for him to go out on Friday and throw 80.

Then I'm guessing next Wednesday the goal is for 100.

 

Who knows thou - I'm no doctor

They said the goal was 75 in his next outing, so yea.

Gimme some Jake Peavy!
