Jesse Chavez earned the win in Thursday's 18-inning victory over the Yankees, striking out seven over 5 2/3 scoreless innings.
He gave up just one hit and walked two, with one of them being intentional. Chavez had been dealing with some minor pectoral soreness, but obviously he's fine. He boats a 1.83 ERA and 0.97 WHIP out of the A's bullpen this season. Jun 14 - 8:17 AM

Jesse Chavez is dealing with a minor pectoral issue.

It sounds like a day-to-day situation. Chavez, who has a 2.57 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over nine games this season, should be available out of the bullpen shortly.

He was sent down to make room for Monday's starter, Dan Straily, on the active roster. Chavez has allowed four runs (three earned) in 4 1/3 innings of work with the A's this season. He'll likely bounce back and forth from the majors to the minors throughout the summer.

Athletics optioned RHP Jesse Chavez to Triple-A Sacramento.

Chavez was acquired earlier this week from the Blue Jays for cash considerations, and could be an option for the bullpen when rosters expand. The Athletics have yet to announce a corresponding roster move.

Athletics acquired RHP Jesse Chavez from the Blue Jays for cash considerations.

Designated for assignment earlier this month, Chavez could provide a one-start stopgap for the A's as they wait for Dan Straily to be eligible to return from the minors and take Bartolo Colon's rotation spot. Chavez was a disaster in 21 1/3 innings over nine appearances for the Jays, posting an 8.44 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 27/10 K/BB ratio. There's no guarantee he'll make it through the end of the season in Oakland.

Blue Jays recalled RHP Jesse Chavez.

Chavez is providing bullpen depth, with J.A. Happ replacing Brett Cecil in the starting rotation. He can safely be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Blue Jays optioned RHP Jesse Chavez to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Not a complete surprise, as Chavez has struggled mightily in the Jays' bullpen and rotation this season. Over his seven big-league appearances, he compiled a 7.08 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 20 1/3 innings. He'll continue to serve as depth at Triple-A.

Jesse Chavez got lit up by the Marlins in Sunday's loss, allowing six runs on seven hits in six innings of work.

Chavez struck out six and walked none, but served up home runs to Greg Dobbs and John Buck. Not exactly MVP candidates. A fill-in only in Toronto's rotation, Chavez and his 8.56 ERA can be safely ignored in all formats of fantasy.

Jesse Chavez will start Sunday against the Marlins.

Chavez took Brandon Morrow's spot in the rotation Tuesday against the Brewers and gave up four runs on three hits and four walks over just 2 2/3 innings. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues. Henderson Alvarez will now start Monday against the Red Sox while Aaron Laffey will get the nod on Tuesday.

Blue Jays recalled RHP Jesse Chavez from Triple-A Las Vegas.

He'll take Brandon Morrow's spot in the starting rotation Tuesday against the Brewers. Chavez has a 3.68 ERA in 11 starts this year with Triple-A Las Vegas, but he owns an underwhelming 5.37 ERA over 144 relief appearances in the big leagues. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Jesse Chavez is "definitely the frontrunner" to take Brandon Morrow's (oblique) spot in the rotation.

Brett Cecil is also being considered, but it looks like it will be Chavez. "He's definitely the frontrunner, I guess I would say that," Anthopoulos said. "But we haven't made a commitment one way or the other. He's scheduled to pitch [Wednesday], but we don't have to make a decision for awhile. But there's no question that he has probably been the best starter down there." Chavez holds a 3.68 ERA in 11 starts this season at Triple-A Las Vegas. The Jays won't need a fifth starter until June 18 or 19.
