Jesse Chavez was hit by a 99 mph one-hopper of the bat of Miguel Cabrera on June 14th and at the time, his injury was classified as a “left shin contusion.” It would land him on the 15-day IL, but initially wasn't considered to be too serious.

Five weeks later, the Braves transferred Chavez to the 60-day IL, where he's been ever since.

Jesse Chavez threw a live batting practice and it went well.
