Manager John Gibbons said that Chavez (back) is feeling better but likely won't pitch Thursday, Barry Davis of Sportsnet reports.
It's promising that Chavez appears to be past the back soreness that was bothering him since Tuesday, but it appears the Blue Jays still want to be cautious with the right-hander. He's been one of the better members of the bullpen so far this season, striking out eight batters in 4.1 innings thus far, so he should slot back into a fairly prominent role in the Blue Jays bullpen once he's deemed ready to return.
