Jesse Chavez News: DFA'd by Atlanta

Atlanta designated Chavez for assignment Sunday.

It's the second time Chavez has been DFA'd by Atlanta this season, after he elected for free agency then returned to the organization on a minor-league deal the last time. He was promoted to the majors Wednesday and saw action against the Diamondbacks on Friday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two in one inning. Assuming he clears waivers, Chavez will once again have the option to reject a minor-league assignment and enter free agency.
