Giants right-hander Jake Peavy, who has been rehabbing from a back injury since the middle of April, is slated to return from the disabled list and start on Friday in Washington, D.C.
Peavy made two starts for the Giants this year before landing on the DL with a back injury. The veteran right-hander is anxious to help out his fellow teammates upon his return.
"I was signed back to do what I did here last year," Peavy said, per the San Francisco Chronicle. "I fully expect to do that. It’s been tough for me, sustaining an injury that has kept me down now for a quite a while now, a few months.
"It’s tough to stay in good spirits when you’re not healthy watching your team play well at times and go through some low stretches. That’s when you really want to be out there."
Peavy posted an ugly 9.39 ERA in his two starts, so he and the Giants are definitely hoping he is able to return to form.
