| June 13, 2008 Jake Peavy didn't complain of any soreness after needing only 72 pitches to get through his six innings against the Dodgers on Thursday night, this according to the team website. The Cy Young winner struck out four and didn't walk a batter in his first start since May 14. |
| June 12, 2008 Jake Peavy had a triumphant first effort back as he he hurled six shutout innings against the Dodgers, according to the Associated Press. Ive got a long way to go to be where I want to be, said Peavy. But I was able to make some good pitches when I had to. I wasnt asked to grind it out because of the score. I was able to pitch to contact. |
| June 12, 2008 Jake Peavy has officially been activated from the DL, according to the AP. The team optioned lefty Joe Thatcher to Triple-A Portland as an adjoining move. |
| June 12, 2008 Jake Peavy will be on a soft pitch count of 90 when he returns from the DL today on Thursday, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Manager Bud Black said, "We've got to see how the game goes." |

| May 29, 2008 Jake Peavy could throw off a mound as early as Sunday if his flat ground throwing session on Friday goes favorably, according to MLB.com. Peavy is recovering from a right elbow strain, and said he is excited about the way his elbow feels after a second throwing session Wednesday. Manager Bud Black would ideally like to see Peavy throw a couple of bullpen sessions, possibly followed by a simulated game. But Black said Peavy might not have to go on a Minor League rehab assignment before returning to the Padres' starting rotation. |
| May 28, 2008 Jake Peavy is hoping to return to the Padres rotation this weekend, according to SportsTicker. The righty, who is on the DL with a strained right elbow, threw 40 pitches Tuesday in his first baseball-related action since being sidelined. "Everything felt normal, so that was good news," said Peavy. "Obviously, it's gone longer than we thought, but everything went well... Hopefully everything will go well and we can progress towards getting back out there." |
| May 27, 2008 Jake Peavy threw 40 pitches on flat ground and took batting practice Tuesday in his first baseball-related action since his right elbow strain, according to MLB.com. "Everything felt normal, so that was good news," said Peavy. "Obviously, it's gone longer than we thought, but everything went well today, and we'll try again tomorrow and hopefully everything will go well and we can progress towards getting back out there." Peavy had an MRI Tuesday morning, and the results were positive. "The MRI looked good today, with no structural damage. Everything looked intact with tendons and ligaments." When asked when he might return to the mound, Peavy responded, "I don't know, maybe sometime this weekend. I hope we can climb up on the mound and have enough arm strength to get through that. And hopefully it won't take too much longer after that to get on the mound for real." |
| May 25, 2008 Jake Peavy will undergo a follow-up MRI on his sore right elbow on Tuesday, according to the North County Times. It was originally believed that Jake Peavy would resume playing catch on Saturday, but that plan was abandoned following a meeting with team doctors on Friday. Manager Bud Black noted that Peavy's elbow is improving, but doctors can't fully clear him. Black added, "There's still a little discomfort when he goes through a few of the stress tests." Peavy commented, "It's still tender. Everybody wants to get back out there, but you have to listen to your body." |
| May 20, 2008 As expected, the San Diego Padres placed Jake Peavy on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, one day after an MRI revealed he has a strained right elbow. According to the (TICKER), the move is retroactive to Thursday, May 15. The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner skipped his scheduled start Monday and will miss at least two more outings before he is eligible to be activated on May 30. To take Peavys spot on the roster, the Padres recalled lefthander Joe Thatcher from Class AAA Portland. |
| May 19, 2008 Jake Peavy is likely headed to the DL, according to a report on the San Diego Tribune. Apparently Bud Black told reports that though the results of Peavy's MRI are still not in, the team will likely place him on the DL regardless. |
| May 18, 2008 The San Diego Padres report RHP Jake Peavy will miss his next scheduled start on Monday, hampered by soreness in his pitching elbow, according to the Boston Globe. |
| May 14, 2008 San Diego ace Jake Peavy pitched well, but the Cubs still managed to score runs and handed Peavy his third loss of the season, winning 8-5. Peavy pitched just four innings, giving up four runs (all earned) on seven hits, walking just two with eight strikeouts. |
| May 10, 2008 Even with Cy Young winner Jake Peavy pitching, there is no margin for error, not with a San Diego offense that can't string more than two hits together over the course of nine innings. Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe hit consecutive bases-loaded singles off Peavy in the sixth inning Friday night and that was enough to give the Colorado Rockies a 3-2 lead, and eventually a 4-2 victory sending the Padres to their 18th loss in 22 games. The hard-throwing right-hander allowed three runs on seven hits, walking two and striking out six in six innings of work. |

| April 22, 2008 Jake Peavy looks to continue his dominance in 2008 when he takes the mound tonight against Houston, according to MLB.com. He is currently 3-0 with a stellar 1.20 ERA, and 0.90 WHIP over 30 innings, with 27 strikeouts. He notably threw seven shutout innings against Houston on opening day. |
| April 18, 2008 Jake Peavy was able to only work roughly one-third of Thursday's game against the Rockies. The ace tossed eight scoreless innings in what turned out to be a 22-inning battle. Peavy allowed only four hits, walked three, and struck out 11. |
| April 7, 2008 Jake Peavy has been accused of using pine tar during his Saturday win over the Dodgers. The LA Times reports that an image showing a dark substance on the thumb, forefinger and middle finger was taken from Fox's national broadcast on Saturday and appeared on the message board of a Dodgers fan site later that night next to one of Peavy's hands magnified. "Pine tar," Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt said. "Rosin's not that dark." Peavy, who threw a complete game and limited the Dodgers to two hits, denied that he cheated to get a better grip on the baseball. "It's just dirt," said Peavy as he looked at copies of the pictures. "I pick up dirt. I mean, come on. I mean, seriously. That's funny to me, seriously." Don't expect anything to come of this, except for an umpire making a trip to the mound when the Padres and Dodgers meet again. |
| April 5, 2008 Jake Peavy improved to 10-1 lifetime against the Dodgers as he allowed only two hits in a complete game victory on Saturday. Peavy needed 116 pitches to strike out eight batters while walking one and permitting just one walk. Can you believe that Peavy won the NL Cy Young award last season without a single complete game? In fact, Peavy didn't pitch into the ninth inning a single time last season. |
| April 1, 2008 Jake Peavy was in control as he threw seven scoreless innings with only three hits allowed, and four strikeouts and three walks. The Padres downed Houston 4-0 on Monday. This is why Peavy is taken in the first round in fantasy drafts. |
| March 26, 2008 Jake Peavy allowed four runs on four hits (one home run) over three innings of work against Texas on Wednesday, with one walk and five strikeouts. He most notably blasted a two run homer, but the Padres' still lost 12-7. |
| March 22, 2008 Jake Peavy will get one more start before hes to throw the team's first pitch of the 2008 season, March 31 against the Houston Astros at Petco Park, this according to the San Diego Union Tribune. Peavy isn't happy with his command fastballs that are missing the spot more than he would like. Ryan Braun hit a fat-ball for a three-run home run in the first inning on Friday, but according to Peavy that isn't concerning, just frustrating. Peavy told the paper that the achy shoulder was of no concern whatsoever but did renew his appreciation of the team's trainers. Spring is what it is.. exhibition play. Peavy should still be the first or second pitcher to come off the board in any fantasy format. |
| March 21, 2008 Jake Peavy once again looked mortal as he allowed four runs on three walks and six hits on Friday in 4.1 innings pitched. Peavy, who had five strikeouts on the day, hasn't looked anything like the Cy Young quality pitcher he actually is, but no one is in panic mode as he has used this spring to work on a changeup and locating his pitches while paying little attention to the results. |
| March 11, 2008 San Diego ace Jake Peavy said he was using today's Cactus League start to work on his fastball, according to the Associated Press. The results were not as hoped, giving up four runs in the 1st inning as the Padres lost to the Angels 4-8. Peavy worked three innings, giving up five hits with two walks and six strike outs. To be fair, Peavy didn't allow a hit over those last two innings, admitting he abandoned his desire to work on the fastball. "My pride took over," said Peavy. |
| March 6, 2008 Jake Peavy worked three innings on Thursday and picked up the win for the Padres over the Rockies. Peavy allowed four hits and two runs on the day as he also struck out four. Peavy looked sharp other than a HR allowed to Troy Tulowitzki, so consider him to be good to go as the best right handed hurler in the NL. |
