"After finishing his third stint on the disabled list in less than three full seasons with the White Sox, Jake Peavy hopes injuries are finally in his rear view mirror.

"I certainly feel that I should have no problem with my groin (Wednesday night), and my arm feels as good as it has felt in quite a while," said Peavy, who will come off the DL to face the Cubs. "This might be a blessing in disguise to give my arm a little break after all we've asked it to do.

"Hopefully this is the last time we talk about injuries. We have a long way to go to be where we want to be, but we're in the mix. We're not crazy about where we're at, but we like where we're at."

Peavy hasn't pitched in a major league game since June 5, when he suffered a right groin strain while covering first base against the Tigers."
