Jesse Chavez News
The Atlanta Braves re-signed veteran relief pitcher Jesse Chavez to a one-year minor-league deal on Saturday that will pay him $1.2 million if he's in the majors. Chavez pitched for the Braves, Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Angels last year, finishing the year with a 3.76 ERA (3.39 FIP), a 1.31 WHIP, 74 strikeouts and 20 walks in 69 1/3 innings over 60 relief appearances (one start). In 46 outings (one starts) for Atlanta, the 39-year-old right-hander posted a solid 2.72 ERA (2.89 FIP), a 1.19 WHIP, 61 strikeouts and 14 walks in 53 frames. Chavez will have a pretty good shot at winning a spot in the bullpen out of spring training next year, but he won't have any fantasy appeal.
The Atlanta Braves claimed right-handed reliever Jesse Chavez off waivers on Tuesday from the Los Angeles Angels. Chavez was shipped to LA at the Aug. 2 trade deadline in the trade that sent reliever Raisel Iglesias to the Braves. Along with the Braves and Angels, Chavez has also spent time with the Chicago Cubs in 2022. The 39-year-old veteran was a key part of Atlanta's bullpen last year on their way to winning the World Series, but he shouldn't be on the fantasy radar at all. In 54 2/3 innings this year, Chavez has a 3.62 ERA (3.29 FIP), a 1.37 WHIP and a 60:16 K:BB. The Braves will most likely use him in middle relief in his return to the organization.
Atlanta Braves pitcher Jesse Chavez will get the start against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Chavez has thrown five scoreless innings since being acquired by the Braves from the Chicago Cubs earlier in the season. The Braves are likely only going to get two or three innings out of Chavez on Friday. This means, Kyle Wright will get a few extra days to rest before taking the mound again. Fantasy managers can probably avoid Chavez since he isn't likely to pitch deep into this game.
