PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) San Diego Padres ace Jake Peavy left Friday's game against the Texas Rangers with a strained groin.
Peavy, who went 15-6 and led the major leagues with a 2.27 ERA last year, came out after retiring Andres Torres on a fly ball for the second out of the fifth inning. The right-hander was scheduled to pitch five innings.
"I just felt it on that last pitch," Peavy said. "It just grabbed me a little bit. I don't think it's going to be anything serious, but if you feel something out there, there's no sense in throwing any more pitches. If it's tight, it's tight for a reason.
"You could throw one more pitch, and if something like that tears or gets any worse, it could be trouble. I don't think it's anything major."
Peavy is day to day and will be re-evaluated on Saturday. He said he hopes to make his next scheduled start, but also doesn't want to aggravate the injury.
"I want to continue throwing, but this is a thing that if it takes a week of laying low to get it 100 percent, I've got to be 100 percent to start the season," Peavy said.

Despite the negative time frame estimate, the Padres suggested the results of Peavy's MRI were positive. "The MRI looked very good," trainer Todd Hutcheson said. "The ligament looked outstanding. There is a small strain of his flexor tendon."
