CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy is done for the season.The right-hander said Friday he will have surgery on a detached right shoulder muscle on Wednesday and hopes to be throwing again by spring training early next year. He says his career isn't in jeopardy, but doctors recommended the procedure.
"It was a unanimous decision [among the doctors] to have this thing repaired," Peavy said. "But at the end of the day, there is a lot of optimism to come back and be able to do what I've always done. So that's exciting."
Peavy has a detached muscle in the back of his right shoulder. He was hurt delivering a pitch Tuesday night in a game against the Angels.
The team described the injury as a detached latissimus dorsi muscle.
