Via Scott Merkin of MLB.com, the White Sox announced Saturday that right-hander Jake Peavy will not throw another pitch this season.
Peavy, one year removed from shoulder surgery, acknowledged after an outing late last month that his body felt ?run down.? The 30-year-old threw just 101 2/3 innings in 2009 and 107 innings in 2010.
He was up to 111 2/3 innings here in 2011.
The White Sox have not announced a replacement, but Merkin believes they might be leaning toward 26-year-old Dylan Axelrod, who posted a 2.69 ERA and 132/25 K/BB ratio in 150 2/3 frames this year between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte.
Peavy registered a 4.92 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 95/24 K/BB ratio across 19 appearances (18 starts) this season.
