Chavis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
After starting five times in seven-game span, the righty-hitting Chavis will sit for the second consecutive contest, even though Toronto is bringing a lefty (Hyun Jin Ryu) to the hill. Chavis has gone 3-for-19 at the dish since his June 9 promotion from Triple-A Worcester, but despite his lack of success, he should see semi-regular at-bats as Boston's top utility option until Marwin Gonzalez (hamstring) returns from the injured list.
