NEW YORK — Gwinnett fans might see Tim Hudson face Jake Peavy on Sunday in a marquee matchup of rehabbing pitchers.

Hudson is set to make his next-to-last rehab start Sunday for the Class AAA Gwinnett. Peavy, the former San Diego ace traded to the Chicago White Sox last month, is rehabbing from an ankle injury and might face Hudson on Sunday.

Peavy struggled in his second start for Class AAA Charlotte on Tuesday, allowing five hits and four runs (three earned) in four innings.

Hudson gave up nine hits, two runs and no walks one with strikeout in 4-2/3 innings of his fifth rehab start Tuesday for Gwinnett. While not pleased with his high hits total, Hudson noted that several were groundball singles.

He said he threw his best curveballs and change-ups of any of his rehab starts. Hudson is scheduled to make two more rehab starts before he’s activated.
