Jesse Chavez - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Enters free agency Chavez cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency.

Impact Chavez was DFA'd by Atlanta after he allowed one run in two innings during his appearance against the Dodgers on Monday. Rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett and remaining in the organization that has brought him the majority of his success throughout his career, the 41-year-old will once again explore his options in the open market.

DFA'd by Atlanta Atlanta designated Chavez for assignment Tuesday.

Impact The veteran right-hander inked a minor-league deal with Atlanta last week and had his contract selected from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, and he pitched later in the day versus the Dodgers, giving up a run on two hits and two walks over two innings. Chavez had a 3.13 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 55:19 K:BB across 46 appearances for Atlanta last season, but his stay on the big-league roster early this year was brief.

Joining big-league bullpen Atlanta will select Chavez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Chavez has seen action with 10 different teams over parts of 17 seasons in the big leagues, but Atlanta has been a familiar stop for the 41-year-old. Currently in the midst of his fourth stint in the Atlanta organization, Chavez didn't break camp with the big club but didn't have to wait long for an opening in the bullpen to emerge after right-hander Hector Neris was designated for assignment. Chavez is likely to work in middle relief after he turned in a 3.13 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 55:19 K:BB across 63.1 innings with Atlanta in 2024.

Back with Atlanta Chavez agreed to a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 41-year-old was released by Texas on Friday, and it didn't take long for him to end up with Atlanta, who has now signed four one-year contracts with the club since 2021. Chavez has posted a 2.91 ERA in 172 appearances during that span, and he could be included on the Opening Day roster if he showcases himself well in the next couple days, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com.

Cut by Texas The Rangers released Chavez on Friday.

Impact Chavez failed to perform after signing an NRI deal with the Rangers in the offseason, finishing spring training with seven earned runs allowed in 6.2 innings. He'll now presumably look to sign with another organization, though his advanced age and poor recent performance could make it hard to attract interest.

41-year-old reliever Jesse Chavez signs minor league deal with Texas Rangers

Veteran right-hander Jesse Chavez has agreed to a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers that includes an invitation to spring training

JANUARY 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Joins Texas as NRI The Rangers signed Chavez to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training.

Impact Chavez, 41, showed in 2024 with Atlanta that he still has something left in the tank, posting a 3.13 ERA and 55:19 K:BB over 63.1 regular-season innings. The 17-year veteran should have a decent chance to crack the Rangers' Opening Day roster as a middle reliever.

Atlanta Braves blow a 4-run lead in a costly 6-5 loss to Cincinnati Reds

Michael Harris II and Matt Olson homered for Atlanta, but the Braves blew a four-run lead in a costly 6-5 loss to the Cincinnati Reds

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • Associated Press

Secures second win 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.

Impact The 41-year-old righty took the mound to begin the second inning after Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) was removed from the game, and Chavez was credited with the win once the Atlanta offense got rolling in the third. He's 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, low-relief role gives him minimal fantasy upside. Should Lopez miss any starts to close out the regular season, Chavez isn't likely to be a viable replacement, other than as part of a bullpen day.

Impact The 40-year-old righty entered the game in the sixth inning with Atlanta ahead 2-1, but a Willy Adames three-run homer put the Brewers in the lead for good. Chavez has served up eight long balls in 46.1 innings this season, but he's still managed to post a sharp 2.33 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 39:14 K:BB in a lower-leverage role.
