The Atlanta Braves signed veteran right-handed pitcher Jesse Chavez to a minor league deal on Monday, the team announced, marking his fifth stint with the Braves.
Chavez, 40, was released by the Chicago White Sox on Saturday. His deal with Atlanta includes an invitation to spring training, giving the Braves 29 players in camp.
Chavez was first acquired by the Braves on in 2009, as part of a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays for Rafael Soriano before being traded to the Kansas City Royals with Gregor Blanco and Tim Collins in exchange for Rick Ankiel and Kyle Farnsworth in July of the following year.
