Mon Mar 2509:45Jesse Chavez Inks Minor League Deal With Braves
The Atlanta Braves have signed pitcher Jesse Chavez to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. The 40-year-old journeyman spent last season in Atlanta, but was recently cut by the Chicago White Sox after a tough time in the Cactus League this spring. Despite his rough numbers with the White Sox this spring, he had a great season in 2023 with a 1.56 ERA and should have an opportunity to earn a bullpen spot with the Braves. Even with his impressive numbers in 2023, he doesn't provide much in the fantasy world and can be left on the waiver wire for now.

Sun Mar 2417:42Jesse Chavez Signing Is Not Official
The Minnesota Twins were reportedly in agreement with relief pitcher Jesse Chavez earlier on Sunday. However, the two sides have not officially agreed on a deal. It sounds like the Twins and Chavez are discussing a one-year contract, but haven't made it official. The 40-year-old is looking to pitch at least one more season in the big leagues. Whether it's the Twins or elsewhere, Chavez will likely be a middle reliever. That means, Chavez probably won't carry much fantasy value on any organization.

Sun Mar 2417:04Twins Sign Veteran Reliever Jesse Chavez
The Minnesota Twins have signed veteran reliever Jesse Chavez to a one-year big league deal and he will serve in a middle relief role or pitch in matchup-specific opportunities. It will be the 40-year-old's tenth different major league club and 17th season, which is an enviable feat in and of itself. The Twins have lost some bullpen arms recently and needed to sure it up before the season began. While Chavez has found a niche for himself over his many MLB seasons, he's not going to log many innings and isn't a power strikeout pitcher, so his usefulness for fantasy purposes is pretty much limited to leagues where Holds are counted as a category.

Thu Feb 819:05Jesse Chavez, Danny Mendick Sign With White Sox
Free-agent relief pitcher Jesse Chavez and infielder Danny Mendick were among 11 to sign minor-league deals with invites to major-league spring training with the Chicago White Sox on Thursday. Chavez missed three months in 2023 due to a microfracture in his left shin, but when he was healthy, he was great despite being 40 years old. He posted a strong 1.56 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 39 strikeouts and one save for the Atlanta Braves in 34 2/3 innings pitched. Given how weak the White Sox's bullpen is entering spring training, it would be a surprise if the veteran reliever wasn't pitching for the big-league club in 2024, but he won't be on the fantasy radar. Mendick, 30, spent the first four years of his career in Chicago. The utility man played in 33 games with the New York Mets last year and went 12-for-65 (.185) with a homer and four RBI.

Sat Oct 7 202300:30Jesse Chavez Doesn't Make NLDS Roster
The Atlanta Braves informed relief pitcher Jesse Chavez on Friday that he will not be on the NLDS roster versus the Philadelphia Phillies. Despite Chavez's strong 1.56 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 39:12 K:BB through 34 2/3 innings pitched, rookie right-hander Daysbel Hernandez (three runs over 3 2/3 IP), who hasn't pitched in the big leagues since late July, made the NLDS team instead. Chavez returned on Sep. 20 from a three-month absence with a microfracture in his left shin. The 40-year-old right-hander tossed 6 1/3 scoreless frames during the postseason of Atlanta's 2021 World Series run and will hope to crack a roster spot if the Braves move on to the NLCS.

Sun Jul 23 202317:01Jesse Chavez Moved To 60-Day IL
Atlanta Braves reliever Jesse Chavez (shin) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. The 39-year-old still has a "slight limp, according to skipper Brian Snitker, so the update isn't surprising. Chavez, who has a 1.55 ERA with 36 strikeouts, 13 holds, and two saves in 2022, is still "weeks away" from returning, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see him anytime soon. In a corresponding move, Atlanta will bring right-hander Daysbel Hernandez to the big club.

Sat Jul 22 202321:36Jesse Chavez Still Has A "Slight Limp"
According to Braves manager Brian Snitker, reliever Jesse Chavez (shin) is still "walking with a slight limp." There was a report that the 39-year-old had been doing some "light jogging." Yet, he's still "weeks away" from returning, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Chavez owns a 1.55 ERA with 36 strikeouts, 13 holds, and two saves this season, so Atlanta would love to see him back on the bump as soon as possible. However, his statistical contributions won't mean much to most fantasy managers.

Fri Jul 14 202320:58Jesse Chavez Aiming For Bullpen Session Next Week
Atlanta Braves right-hander Jesse Chavez (shin) hopes to throw a bullpen session next week. The 39-year-old reliever is currently on the 15-day injured list after suffering a contusion before the All-Star break. Fortunately, Chavez is progressing, recently reporting he's been doing some "light jogging." Without question, Atlanta would like to see him return as soon as possible, considering he's accrued a 1.55 ERA with 36 strikeouts, 13 holds, and two saves in 31 appearances this season. That said, if all goes well, Chavez is looking to be back on the bump in two weeks, although that's the most optimistic scenario.

Thu Jun 15 202316:13Braves Put Jesse Chavez On 15-Day Injured List
The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Jesse Chavez (shin) on the 15-day injured list on Thursday with a left-shin contusion and recalled right-hander Ben Heller from the minors in a corresponding move. X-rays came back negative on Chavez's shin after he was hit by a comebacker on Wednesday in the second game of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers, but it couldn't prevent him from going on the shelf for a couple weeks. While the 39-year-old isn't much of a fantasy asset and certainly isn't overpower by today's pitching standards, he's been a key cog in Atlanta's bullpen this year, pitching to a tidy 1.55 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, one save and 36 strikeouts in 29 relief innings pitched.

Wed Jun 14 202321:51X-Rays On Jesse Chavez Come Back Negative
X-rays came back negative on Atlanta Braves right-hander Jesse Chavez (shin) on Wednesday after he was hit by a comebacker on his left shin bone in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers. Chavez could still miss some time, but it looks like he avoided a serious injury. The 39-year-old right-hander didn't officially record an out and allowed one hit in his outing on Wednesday before departing the contest. He has just one save in 29 relief appearances for Atlanta so far this year, but he's also sporting a strong 1.55 ERA (2.48 FIP), 1.00 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 29 innings pitched. Chavez isn't much to look at for fantasy purposes, but he's been a key bullpen piece for the Braves so far this year.

Sun Nov 13 202210:34Jesse Chavez Returns To Braves
The Atlanta Braves re-signed veteran relief pitcher Jesse Chavez to a one-year minor-league deal on Saturday that will pay him $1.2 million if he's in the majors. Chavez pitched for the Braves, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Angels last year, finishing the year with a 3.76 ERA (3.39 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP, 74 strikeouts and 20 walks in 69 1/3 innings over 60 relief appearances (one start). In 46 outings (one starts) for Atlanta, the 39-year-old right-hander posted a solid 2.72 ERA (2.89 FIP), a 1.19 WHIP, 61 strikeouts and 14 walks in 53 frames. Chavez will have a pretty good shot at winning a spot in the bullpen out of spring training next year, but he won't have any fantasy appeal.

Tue Aug 30 202216:18Jesse Chavez Back With The Braves
The Atlanta Braves claimed right-handed reliever Jesse Chavez off waivers on Tuesday from the Los Angeles Angels. Chavez was shipped to LA at the Aug. 2 trade deadline in the trade that sent reliever Raisel Iglesias to the Braves. Along with the Braves and Angels, Chavez has also spent time with the Chicago Cubs in 2022. The 39-year-old veteran was a key part of Atlanta's bullpen last year on their way to winning the World Series, but he shouldn't be on the fantasy radar at all. In 54 2/3 innings this year, Chavez has a 3.62 ERA (3.29 FIP), a 1.37 WHIP and a 60:16 K:BB. The Braves will most likely use him in middle relief in his return to the organization.

Fri May 6 202211:21Jesse Chavez To Start On Friday
Atlanta Braves pitcher Jesse Chavez will get the start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Chavez has thrown five scoreless innings since being acquired by the Braves from the Chicago Cubs earlier in the season. The Braves are likely only going to get two or three innings out of Chavez on Friday. This means, Kyle Wright will get a few extra days to rest before taking the mound again. Fantasy managers can probably avoid Chavez since he isn't likely to pitch deep into this game.

Sun Apr 3 202210:19Jesse Chavez Makes Cubs Roster
Chicago Cubs veteran relief pitcher Jesse Chavez has made the team's Opening Day roster. Chavez had a tough year in the 2020 shortened season for the Texas Rangers, but he bounced back in a big way for the Atlanta Braves in 2021, posting a pristine 2.14 ERA and a 1.01 WHIP while striking out 36 and walking 11 in 33 2/3 relief innings. The 38-year-old also struck out 27.1% of the batters he faced last year. Chavez will bring some veteran experience to Chicago's bullpen, but he won't have any fantasy appeal in a middle-relief role.

Sun Mar 13 202211:03Jesse Chavez Joins The Cubs
Free-agent relief pitcher Jesse Chavez has agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Chavez spent the 2021 season with the Atlanta Braves, where he went 3-2 with a 2.14 ERA and 1.01 WHIP while striking out 36 and walking 11 in 30 appearances (four starts) over 33 2/3 innings pitched. The 38-year-old veteran has been around for 14 major league seasons and owns a career 4.44 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 966 2/3 innings. Chavez pitched for the Cubs back in 2018 and had a nice 1.15 ERA and four saves in 39 innings pitched. He'll represent veteran bullpen depth but has no fantasy appeal.

NEW YORK (AP) — Eduardo Rodriguez shut down the short-handed Yankees into the sixth inning, Christian Arroyo and J.D. Martinez homered and the Boston Red Sox beat their rivals 4-0 on Friday night with New York missing slugger Aaron Judge and five others due to a coronavirus outbreak. A day after the series opener was postponed for testing and contact tracing, Judge, third baseman Gio Urshela and catcher Kyle Higashioka were added to the COVID-19 injured list. They joined Yankees pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga, Nestor Cortes Jr. and Wandy Peralta, who have also tested positive over the past week. New York was also without first baseman Luke Voit, who went on the injured list Friday with a bone bruise in his left knee. Rodriguez (7-5) allowed two hits over 5 2/3 innings, retiring 10 straight during one stretch and finishing with eight strikeouts. Hirokazu Sawamura got the final out of the sixth, and Tanner Houck pitched the final three innings, closing out Boston’s three-hitter for his first... [More]
