White Sox reinstate Jake Peavy from disabled list

CHICAGO – Prior to tonight’s game vs. Atlanta, the Chicago White Sox returned right-handed pitcher Jake Peavy from his injury rehabilitation assignment with Class AA Birmingham and returned the right-hander from the disabled list.

Peavy, 32, is scheduled to start tomorrow’s game (3:05 p.m. CT) vs. the Braves.

Peavy has been on the disabled list since June 6 (retroactive to June 5) with a fracture of the left fourth anterior rib. He left his start on June 4 at Seattle after 2.1 IP due to the injury.

Peavy is 6-4 with a 4.30 ERA (32 ER/67.0 IP) and 66 strikeouts over 11 starts (seven quality) with the White Sox this season.
