Veteran pitcher Jesse Chavez made his 2025 debut with the Atlanta Braves on Monday night in the team's 6-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. After originally not making the active roster, the franchise called him up to the MLB to serve as a relief pitcher out of the bullpen.
Unfortunately, his time in the majors ended abruptly after the Braves announced on Tuesday that they designated him for assignment (DFA). The 41-year-old relief pitcher is heading back to the minors for the time being as Atlanta is calling up pitcher Zach Thompson for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.
