The Giants placed Jake Peavy on the 15-day DL with a lower back strain, the team announced Saturday. In a corresponding move, Albert Suarez will make the move back to San Francisco after being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.
Peavy was scheduled to start Saturday night against the Braves. Suarez will now start on the hill in place of the veteran.
The move to put Peavy on the 15-day DL is retroactive to August 21.
