Stuck with second loss Chaves (0-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit and a walk while striking out two over an inning as he took the loss against the Rays on Friday.

Impact Chavez entered to begin extra innings and ended up allowing an RBI single to Austin Meadows to give the Rays a 7-6 lead. Atlanta was unable to extend or end the game in the bottom half of the frame, setting up Chavez for his second loss of the year. Since debuting for Atlanta on June 24, the 37-year-old owns a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings.

Takes loss in season debut Chavez (0-1) allowed two earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three across 2.1 innings, taking the loss to the Reds on Thursday.

Impact Chavez surrendered a pair of doubles that led to a pair of runs scoring against him. It wasn't a terrible performance for it being his first big-league action of the season, as he reached his projected innings total in the bullpen game. The 37-year-old has been successful in the minors this season with a 2.25 ERA through 20 innings in Triple-A and has limited fantasy value.

Covering 2-3 frames in start Chavez had his contract selected by Atlanta to start Thursday's game at Cincinnati and is expected to pitch 2-3 innings, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander has primarily worked as a reliever over the past three seasons, but he'll start Thursday's contest as manager Brian Snitker employs a bullpen game. Chavez struggled in 18 appearances for Texas last year with a 6.88 ERA, but he's pitched well at Triple-A Gwinnett in 2021 with a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB across 20 innings.

Slated to start Thursday Chavez will start Thursday's game against the Reds, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Chavez was let go by the Angels in late March, but he signed a minor-league deal with Atlanta in April and began the season with Triple-A Gwinnett. The 37-year-old posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 20 innings across 13 relief appearances, and he'll make a spot start Thursday. Since the right-hander has only pitched out of the bullpen across the past two seasons, Atlanta could rely heavily on its bullpen in Thursday's matchup.

Placed on injured list Chavez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left big toe sprain, retroactive to Aug. 23.

Impact Chavez has struggled during recent appearances and now carries an 8.74 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 11.1 innings this season as he's blown three saves. It's unclear how the 37-year-old sustained his injury or whether he'll be able to return after spending the minimum amount of time on the injured list.

Blows save Chavez allowed two runs in two-thirds of an inning and blew his third save of the season in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.

Impact Chavez entered in the bottom of the eighth inning to preserve a 6-5 lead but yielded back-to-back home runs to Ty France and Austin Hedges. It was the sixth time in 11 outings the reliever has allowed runs, and Chavez has given up six long balls in just 10.2 innings. He was once considered an important bullpen piece, but an 8.71 ERA (10.23 FIP) and 5.2 HR/9 should put an end to those thoughts.
