Fri Jan 1214:48Michael Chavis Inks Minors Deal With Mariners
The Seattle Mariners and infielder Michael Chavis have agreed on a minor-league deal for the 2024 season. The deal comes with an invite to big-league spring training. A former top prospect with the Red Sox, the 28-year-old is now with his fourth organization as he's struggled to put it together at the plate at the MLB level. He owns a career .238 average with a decent 42 home runs and eight stolen bases across 357 big-league games played. He's brought a decent amount of pop to the table but he has walked in just 5.4% of his career plate appearances to pair with a bloated 31.9% K%. As a result, his bat has graded out 20% below the league average for his career, as per his 80 wRC+. He was designated for assignment by the Nationals earlier this offseason.

Thu Oct 19 202319:26Michael Chavis Clears Waivers, Elects Free Agency
Washington Nationals infielder Michael Chavis has cleared outright waivers and has elected to become a free agent. A once-promising prospect in the Boston Red Sox organization, the now 28-year-old appeared in 48 games with the Nationals in 2023 and limped to a .242 average with a pair of homers, one stolen base, and a .622 OPS across 96 trips to the plate. It was the fifth consecutive underwhelming season for the 2014 first-round pick as he now owns a career .238 average, 42 HR, eight SB, and a .684 OPS across 1,186 plate appearances, production that grades out 20% below the league average, as per his 80 wRC+. However, he has handled himself well throughout his minor-league career, so it's quite possible he will latch on with another club for infield depth while potentially heading overseas for the 2024 season.

Mon Jan 2 202314:38Nationals Agree With Michael Chavis On Minor-League Deal
The Washington Nationals have reportedly agreed with free-agent infielder Michael Chavis on a minor-league deal, per a tweet from The Washington Post's Andrew Golden on Monday. Chavis would make $1 million if he makes the majors and could earn up to $500,ooo in incentives. He has a June 1 opt-out if he's not in the majors by then. Chavis appeared in 129 games for the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 2022 season, hitting .229 with a .265 on-base percentage. The 27-year-old also added 14 home runs and a stolen base for the National League Central franchise.

Tue May 31 202209:09Michael Chavis Utilized As Pinch-Runner Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Michael Chavis (forearm) has been held out of the starting lineup for each of the team's last three games due to a forearm injury. However, he made an appearance off the bench in Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was utilized as a pinch-runner in the ninth inning of the game and wound up scoring the game-winning run in the team's 6-5 victory. It seems likely that the 26-year-old will be back to full-time duties soon. Over 39 games this year, he's slashing .286/.320/.473 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 12 runs.

Wed Sep 29 202108:22Michael Chavis Returns From The Injured List
The Pittsburgh Pirates activated second baseman Michael Chavis (elbow) from the injured list on Tuesday. He went on to make an appearance as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He hit a single and drove in a run. Chavis was sidelined for about a month due to a right elbow strain. He was hitting well before the injury. Over just six games as a Pirate - following his acquisition from Boston - he slashed .364/.364/.591 with one home run, two RBI and four runs. He should see a good amount of playing time the rest of the way and could be a sneaky source of power for fantasy managers in need over the final week of the year.

Chavis has only played in six games for the Pirates since being acquired at the trade deadline but has played well, hitting .364/.364/.591 over that span with one home run, two RBI, and four runs scored on eight hits.

Sun Aug 29 202108:18Michael Chavis Exits On Saturday With Elbow Discomfort
Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Michael Chavis (elbow) was removed from Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals due to right elbow discomfort. He went 0-for-1 in the game before he was replaced by Cole Tucker, who went on to go 0-for-1 with two walks. We don't know anything about the severity of Chavis's injury at this point, but he will be reevaluated on Sunday, at which point we'll know more. Chavis has only been with the Pirates for about a week and he's been a productive hitter for the team so far. He's slashed .364/.364/.591 with one home run and two doubles over his first six games with the team.

Fri Jul 30 202119:35AL East-leading Red Sox acquire Robles and Davis in trades
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The AL East-leading Boston Red Sox acquired right-hander Hansel Robles from Minnesota and left-hander Austin Davis from Pittsburgh in a pair of trades Friday. Boston sent infielder-outfielder Michael Chavis to the Pirates and minor league right-hander Alex Scherff to the Twins. Robles made 45 appearances for the Twins this season, going 3-4 with 10 saves and a 4.91 ERA. He has appeared in 358 major league games overall. Davis has made 65 relief appearances with the Philadelphia Phillies (2018-20) and Pirates (2020-21), posting a 5.65 ERA. The left-hander has appeared in 10 games with Pittsburgh and 13 in the minors this year. “Everybody has seen our bullpen has done a great job this year, and we wanted to back that up by getting them reinforcements to make sure we have as many good options as possible down the stretch," Boston chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said. Boston began the day with the third-best AL bullpen ERA at 3.62. Chavis hit .190 with two home... [More]
Fri Jul 30 202118:39Michael Chavis Traded To Pirates For Austin Davis
The Boston Red Sox on Friday traded infielder Michael Chavis to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for relief pitcher Austin Davis. Chavis is having the weakest season of his major league career, hitting .190/.207/.342 with two home runs and six RBI on 15 hits through 79 at-bats. Davis, 28, was one of a few relievers the Red Sox added to their bullpen on Friday to give their tired pitching staff a bit of a reprieve. However, his 5.59 ERA through 9 2/3 innings pitched this season should be a red flag for fantasy managers.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The AL East-leading Boston Red Sox acquired right-hander Hansel Robles from Minnesota and left-hander Austin Davis from Pittsburgh in a pair of trades Friday. Boston sent infielder-outfielder Michael Chavis to the Pirates and minor league right-hander Alex Scherff to the Twins. Robles made 45 appearances for the Twins this season, going 3-4 with 10 saves and a 4.91 ERA. He has appeared in 358 major league games overall. Davis has made 65 relief appearances with the Philadelphia Phillies (2018-20) and Pirates (2020-21), posting a 5.65 ERA. The left-hander has appeared in 10 games with Pittsburgh and 13 in the minors this year. Chavis hit .190 with two home runs and six RBIs in 31 games for the Red Sox this season. Scherff has spent time this season with Double-A Portland and High-A Greenville, going 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA. The Red Sox were relatively quiet before Friday's trade deadline compared to the other playoff contenders in the AL East. Second-place Tampa Bay picked up veteran slugger Nelson Cruz and outfielder Jordan Luplow, while the New York Yankees added left-handed hitters Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo to help balance a right-handed dominated lineup. Toronto added closer Brad Hand on Thursday and starting pitcher José Berríos on Friday. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports

Luis Guillorme hit his first homer of the season and Jonathan Villar also connected for the NL East leaders. Mets manager Luis Rojas returned to the dugout after serving a two-game suspension for excessive arguing on Sunday.

Thu Jun 24 202122:09Red Sox bid for combined no-hitter vs Rays ends in 8th
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Kevin Kiermaier doubled off reliever Darwinzon Hernández with one out in the eighth inning for Tampa Bay's first hit against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night. Nick Pivetta and Josh Taylor combined to hold the Rays hitless through seven innings. Hernández entered a scoreless game and struck out Francisco Mejía to begin the eighth before Kiermaier doubled to left field on a 1-1 fastball clocked at 94 mph. Pivetta was pulled with a runner on second and two outs in the seventh after throwing 100 pitches. His career high is 116. Pivetta finished with eight strikeouts, two walks and one hit batter. Austin Meadows reached with one out in the seventh when Red Sox first baseman Michael Chavis was charged with an error after misplaying a routine grounder. After Pivetta retired Yandy Díaz on a grounder, manager Alex Cora went to the mound to make a pitching change. Josh Taylor intentionally walked pinch-hitter Manuel Margot before getting a fly to left from Joey Wendle.... [More]

NEW YORK (AP) — Gleyber Torres’ tying single in the ninth inning and winning infield single in the 11th helped the New York Yankees overcame Max Scherzer’s commanding 14-strikeout performance to beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 Saturday.
