Peavy gave up two runs and five hits with six strikeouts in seven innings Tuesday in a 4-2 win over the Twins.

Fantasy owners can't be peeved with Peavy improving to 5-1 in 2013. His health remains a question mark, but that can't be predicted.

Peavy pitched three-hit ball after a brief absence from the rotation and Chicago got bookend home runs from Alejandro De Aza and Alex Rios to beat the New York Mets 6-3 Wednesday night for a split of their two-game series.

It was Peavy's first start since beating Tampa Bay on April 26. He had been scratched twice since because of back spasms. The 2007 NL Cy Young Award winner pitched around a leadoff double in the sixth and threw 114 pitches over 6 2-3 sturdy innings to win his third consecutive decision. He struck out six and walked two.

Peavy will miss a second consecutive start for the Chicago White Sox because of back spasms. The team announced the right-hander has been scratched from his start Monday against Kansas City. Chris Sale will start Monday against the Royals on his regular four days' rest.

Peavy has not pitched since April 26 after being scratched from a Thursday start when his back stiffened up while warming up. He is 3-1 with a 3.38 ERA in five starts this season. White Sox manager Robin Ventura says a trip to the disabled list is a possibility for the three-time All-Star.

Peavy pitched well into the seventh and the White Sox hit three home runs, including ones from part-time players Hector Gimenez and Tyler Greene to win the first two of a four-game series, 5-4 over Tampa Bay on Friday.

Peavy has allowed three runs or fewer in four of five starts.

Peavy allowed one run over seven innings to beat Cleveland 3-1 on Sunday.

Peavy also struck out 11 and scattered five hits while improving to 2-1 with a 3.93 ERA.
