Chavis was placed on the 7-day disabled list at High-A Salem after sustaining an elbow injury, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.
Chavis' 2016 campaign was derailed by a thumb injury, but the Red Sox don't seem to fear that the elbow issue will cast a major pall on his status for the current season. Assuming the injury proves to be the short-term concern the Red Sox believe it is, Chavis could return to action in late April and reassert himself as one of the organization's top corner-infield prospects.
