Peavy v. Dodgers June 12 ?

With Jake rapidly mending and regaining his good health, the tentative
Return plan would be vs. LA next Thursday. Here is the scoop...


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Padres pitcher Jake Peavy is likely to return to the rotation next
week if he does not have any physical setbacks from a simulated
game he threw on Saturday.

Peavy, the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, threw 61 pitches to
three batters over four innings in the simulated game at Petco Park.
"I do feel good enough to pitch in a game, health-wise," he said.
"There was not a whole lot of sharpness. That's to be expected.
We'll get better in my bullpen session a couple of days from now."

---> Peavy is expected to make his return against the Los Angeles
Dodgers on Thursday afternoon as long he continues to feel fine,
manager Bud Black said.

"Any time you get the reigning Cy Young Award winner back, it's
good," Black said. "He shook a little rust off but I thought he threw
the ball fine."

Peavy faced teammates Paul McAnulty, Luke Carlin and Craig Stans-
berry in the simulated game. Of his 61 pitches, 37 were strikes.

"It wasn't crisp by any means, but I came out of it healthy," Peavy
said. "But I have to get better than that if I want to pitch in a ma-
jor league baseball game."

Peavy is 4-3 with a 2.91 ERA in nine starts with one complete game.
