Chavis went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, two RBI and four runs for Triple-A Indianapolis in its 13-1 win over Iowa on Saturday. He also reached base on a pair of hit-by-pitches.

After being acquired from the Red Sox prior to last week's trade deadline, Chavis was expected to immediately join the big club, but Pittsburgh instead optioned him to Indianapolis. Chavis has taken the assignment in stride, going 7-for-16 with six extra-base hits and a stolen base through his first four contests with Indianapolis. He'll likely be the Pirates' top option for a call-up if the team requires another infielder over the final two months of the season.
