Chavez's stock is rising as manager John Gibbons is preparing to give the righty an increased role out of the pen, Sportsnet reports.
With Brett Cecil and Drew Storen struggling to offer much help late in games, Chavez will be the unlikely beneficiary, as his performance has caught the eye of the manager. "There's a lot that comes out of that skinny body," Gibbons said of Chavez. In his second stint with the Jays, the 32-year-old is sporting a 1.69 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 11 appearances this season.
