    The Chicago White Sox are targeting Wednesday for Jake Peavy's return to the major leagues.

    Peavy threw 100 pitches over seven innings in a minor league rehab start Thursday and was perfect in every inning but the third when he gave up five runs.

    "I think he's coming here [Friday] or [Saturday], and then we'll have a sideline and see," pitching coach Don Cooper said. "Nothing is definite. We haven't sat down and spoke about it. But it looks good for the 11th [of May]."

    The hard part will be figuring out who gets removed from the rotation to make room for Peavy. Mark Buehrle, John Danks, Gavin Floyd and Edwin Jackson are all established starters whose spots seem safe. But rotation fill-in Phil Humber is throwing better than anybody with a 2.67 ERA over five starts before Friday's start against the Seattle Mariners
