Peavy took a no decision Monday against the Dodgers as he allowed four runs on six hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out four and didn't walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Peavy was undone by three extra-base hits, including a pair of sixth-inning home runs that sunk his chance for a victory. Peavy has now allowed at least four runs in three of his past four starts and has seen his ERA jump from 3.75 to 4.38 in that span. Peavy has a tidy 53:20 K:BB, but he has now served up 11 home runs in 14 starts and isn't missing enough bats to limit the damage (6.5 K/9).

Peavy (0-4) turned in his best performance since returning from the disabled list, going seven innings and giving up two runs (one earned) while striking out five and walking just one. He was still saddled with the loss as Jacob deGrom outdueled him Wednesday. Peavy missed nearly three months with an early-season back injury, but he has looked like a new man since coming off of the DL, posting a 2.03 ERA over his last two starts. He is no longer the perennial Cy Young contender he once was with the Padres, but Peavy could prove useful in favorable matchups like Wednesday's. It will be interesting to see how the Giants' retool their crowded rotation after the All-Start break, but Wednesday's performance all but assures Peavy a spot.

Peavy allowed two runs on three hits, walking four and striking out four over 6.1 innings of a 2-1 loss to Washington on Friday night. Making his first start since missing time with a back injury, Peavy (0-3, 6.43 ERA) was clearly shaking off some rust as he walked four and hit a batter in the outing. Known for his tenacity, he was able to limit the damage, but he will need to be more efficient if he wants to maintain his hold on a rotation spot, and help fantasy teams.

Peavy (back) was reinstated from the disabled list Friday. Peavy will take the rotation spot of Tim Hudson, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a minor shoulder injury. Peavy was shaky during his rehab assignment, and with the Giants boasting solid rotation depth, he could eventually be removed from the rotation if he struggles.

Peavy (back) is slated to come off the DL on Friday, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Peavy has been on the DL since mid-April, but he'll rejoin the rotation Friday, one day after Matt Cain. Tim Lincecum will hit the DL on Thursday to accommodate Cain, but manager Bruce Bochy refused to reveal how the team will shuffle the starting staff going forward. Tim Hudson would appear to be the primary candidate to fall out of the rotation.

Peavy (back) will receive one more rehab start before being activated, MLB.com's Chris Haft reports. It was thought that there was a good chance Peavy would make a start for the Giants this weekend, but his return to the rotation will delayed until next week. Nothing final has been determined with regard to which day he will start, or who exactly he will replace, but the best guess would be July 2, with Tim Hudson heading to the DL to get some rest. In really deep leagues, the time to grab Peavy is now.

Peavy (back) will likely rejoin the rotation next weekend against the Rockies, CSN Bay Area reports. Peavy gave up one run over six innings in Sunday's outing for Triple-A Sacramento, making what will likely be the last rehab start of his assignment. With Matt Cain (forearm) also nearing a return, it seems likely that only one of Tim Lincecum, Tim Hudson and Ryan Vogelsong will keep his spot in the rotation.

Peavy (back) will make another minor league rehab start, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. The right-hander built his pitch count up to 95 in his outing with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits with five strikeouts over seven innings. Manager Bruce Bochy suggested Peavy is healthy enough to return now, but the team will send him for a sixth rehab start, meaning June 26 would likely be his earliest possible return date. The skipper also said that the team is not planning to go with a six-man rotation.

Peavy (back) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Amy Gutierrez of CSN Bay Area reports. It will be the fifth rehab outing for Peavy, and his fourth with Sacramento. He's been hit hard during each of his starts at Triple-A, but a 15:4 K:BB ratio during his three turns suggests he's doing a good job of finding the strike zone. After building his pitch count to 83 his last time out, Peavy figures to reach the 90 or 100 mark Tuesday while covering around six innings. If he notices no setbacks during the outing, he'll likely make his return to the Giants over the weekend, though it's unclear if he'd displace any of the team's current rotation members.

Manager Bruce Bochy indicated Peavy (back) finished his rehab start feeling "great," but said he will not be rushed back, Jayson Stark of ESPN reports. Peavy experienced some back tightness in his previous rehab start, so it's a good sign that his most recent one went well. He'll likely require at least a couple more before rejoining the club, but a return at some point in June seems plausible if he can avoid setbacks.
