NORTH PORT, Fla. (AP) — Jesse Chavez returned to the Atlanta Braves once again — and got right back to work.
The 41-year-old Chavez pitched two innings on Sunday against Baltimore. The right-hander allowed two runs, one earned, and three hits.
Chavez is trying to win a spot in Atlanta's bullpen after he was released by Texas on Friday. He agreed to a minor league deal with the Braves on Saturday.
Chavez appeared in regular-season games with Atlanta in 2010 and each of the previous four years. He faced a similar situation in 2024, when he was released by the White Sox near the end of spring training and agreed to a minor league contract with the Braves.
