Set your watch. We’re anticipating he’ll re-sign with the Braves in approximately five minutes. The 41-year-old journeyman went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. He made two relief appearances for Atlanta in his latest stint with the club.

It can’t possibly end like this, right? We’re willing to wager that Chavez ends up back with the Braves, like usual, in a couple days after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 41-year-old journeyman made two relief appearances for Atlanta in his latest stint with the club, which lasted just a couple days.

Because it’s a day that ends in Y. Chavez is up for a second time with the Braves this season; he allowed one run over two innings in his one day with the team on March 31. The 41-year-old had a 1.42 ERA and a 12/0 K/BB in 6 1/3 innings for Gwinnett.

Of course they did. Chavez elected free agency after being designated for assignment, but the 41-year-old can’t quit Atlanta, and Atlanta can’t quit him.
