SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Jesse Chavez can start, relieve, do both or not make the team. Exactly what Chavez's role is going to be is unclear with just two weeks to go before Spring Training ends.
But he made a case for something Monday night when he retired nine straight hitters in the Rangers' 5-1 split-squad victory over the Royals. Chavez struck out two in his second start and fourth appearance of the spring.
"Stay focused," Chavez said.
