He's got tendonitis. He's out till after the All Star break. No structural damage, so rest is the remedy. There's really no way to speculate on his effectiveness when he returns as there's no set timetable. There will almost certainly be a couple rehab appearances and that might give a clue.
His success this year has been a fluke. He's lucky his ERA isn't 4+. But yeah, it sucks for people that own him that he's out because that luck was still helping you win. "Luck"ily, I don't have him in any leagues. On the bright side, you won't have to suffer through his regression to the mean which could have been brutal.

i disagree. he might have been overachieving slightly, but him pitching well is hardly a fluke. the guy may come back a little rusty, but he is well worth holding onto in keeper leagues. he is young, pitching in a pretty good pitchers park and has a lot of potential

Yeah, a K/IP is nice, but his WHIP is worse than it was last year when he had a 4+ ERA. I don't know how he's keeping the ball in the park, I guess it could be the new ballpark itself, but I don't regret not drafting him in any leagues.

This is coming from a guy backing Esteban Loaiza? Interesting....
Not allowing more than 2 ER in any game this season is fluky and lucky.? Whip is misleading and doesn't truly reveal the fact that he is placing pitches in places where a strike or ball can be called either way. He isn't wild. If Peavy were a wild pitcher I would be concerned but he is still striking people out and attempting to strike others out by painting the corners very closely. Sometimes he has been getting the calls and sometimes he hasn't. To say that he is lucky or a fluke is absurd IMO.

The facts of the matter remain, He does have a excellent K/9 and he does pitch in an extreme. And he finally has some offense.
I think you are confused here when it comes to Padre Pitchers ..
If you want "fluke" look at Adam Eatons win total. Better yet , if you really want fluke look at Brian Lawrence's win total.
