More rehab for Peavy
BOSTON
After Jake Peavy unsuccessfully tried to play catch before a scheduled bullpen session Wednesday, pitching coach Don Cooper suggested Peavy might need another minor-league rehabilitation start instead of trying to make his White Sox debut Saturday.
“My opinion, right now the best way to take care of Jake Peavy and do the best for Jake Peavy is to continue to play it by ear, see what he can do [Thursday], make one more start in the minor leagues,” Cooper said shortly after Peavy cut short his attempt to get his sore right elbow loose.
