Braves' Jesse Chavez: Secures second win
Jesse Chavez (2-2) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one hit over three scoreless innings of relief in a 12-0 victory over the Nationals. He struck out three without walking a batter.The 41-year-old righty took the mound to begin the second inning after Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) was removed from the game. Chavez has been erratic in the second half, posting a 5.28 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB through 15.1 innings since the beginning of August, and Chavez's low-leverage, middle-relief role gives him minimal fantasy upside. Should Lopez miss any starts to close out the regular season, Chavez isn't likely to be considered as a rotation replacement, other than as part of a bullpen day.

Braves' Jesse Chavez: Thriving in low-leverage role
Jesse Chavez has a 1.21 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB through 29.2 innings over 23 appearances this season.The 40-year-old right-hander is on his fourth stint with Atlanta during his 17-year career, and Chavez is once again proving to be a valuable piece of the team's bullpen. His low-leverage role limits his fantasy value -- he has zero saves or holds, and his only win came back on March 30 -- but he's worked more than an inning in four of his last seven appearances, helping to keep the team's higher-leverage options fresh.

Twins' Jesse Chavez: Gets chance with Twins
Jesse Chavez agreed Sunday with the Minnesota Twins on a one-year, major-league deal, John Bonnes of TwinsDaily.com reports.The contract may not be finalized until shortly before Opening Day, but after being released by the White Sox earlier in the weekend, Chavez will end up sticking in the American League Central and will leave spring training as a member of Minnesota's bullpen. The 40-year-old right-hander boasts 607 games of big-league experience and profiles as a low- or medium-leverage arm at this stage of his career, but his presence in the bullpen in the early part of the season will give Minnesota some added depth while it awaits the returns of several relievers from the injured list.

White Sox's Jesse Chavez: Invited to White Sox's camp
Jesse Chavez signed a minor-league contract with the Chicago White Sox on Thursday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.The 40-year-old Chavez defied Father Time last season in Atlanta, posting a 1.56 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while striking out 39 batters over 34.2 innings. However, a microfracture in his left shin forced him to miss three months of the regular season. Because of his age and injury history, the White Sox will play it safe by giving Chavez a minor-league deal, but the right-hander should easily secure a spot in Chicago's weak bullpen if his performance in the spring resembles anything close to last season.
