Braves to choose from Jesse Chavez, refer to Hector Neris for assignment

11:08 p.m.: Atlanta has decided to determine the right -hander Hector Neris Mark Bowman from MLB.com. Chavez will take its place on the 26-man and 40-man rust.

11:03 a.m.: The Braves select the Treaty of the Veteran Lawer Jesse Chavez Jeff Passan von ESPN reports from Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta has a full 40-man service plan, so a corresponding step must be taken.

The 41-year-old Chavez and the braves don’t seem to help find their way back to each other. This is his fifth stay in Atlanta in five years, although he has never taken up with the good in this half decades. He has signed small league offers with the White Sox, Cubs, Rangers and Engeln since 2021, but every time she landed with the good.

Despite his age, Chavez has remained effective in this period. In 201 Innings since 2021-all up to 16 1/3, which with Atlanta-the far-running Righty will have an average of 2.91 deserved run with a strike rate of 24.5% and a running rate of 7.4%. He most often holds a long relief/multi-fur role in the Bullpen, but has collected 26 holds and a rescue on the way.

The 35 -year -old Neris performed with the good in just two games, but was still marked for five runs in this small sample. He gave three runs without taking an out in his Atlanta debut on the opening day, and was marked yesterday for two more runs in one work. The braves could have chosen Daysbel Hernandezmoved Joe Jimenez The 60-day injury list is likely to have a certain depth after a knee surgery, but the early fights of Neris were sufficient so that the club continues completely.

It is a rough sequence for Neris, which only signed at Atlanta on March 3 and presented only an official inning during the spring training before he was selected for the opening squad. The extent to which the lack of a more traditional building has influenced it is impossible to determine, but Neris was only 91.9 miles per hour during his braves appearance. During his first appearance of the 2024 season, he achieved an average of 93.6 miles per hour on his four -seater.

Nevertheless, Neris does not have a dominant 2024 campaign. He ended the year with an ERA of 4.10 between the Cubs and Astros, but also blew five of his 30 savings opportunities, ran almost 11% of his opponents and achieved a striker rate of 24.6%, which was lowest in Philadelphia since his rookie campaign. Neris fought enough in Chicago that the Cubs release him in mid -August.

In 2023, Neris made a flawless ERA of 1.71 ERA in 68 1/3 Innerings for Houston. This never looked sustainable, not with an average of 0.219 for balls in the game and bloated 91% strand rate. Even with expected regressions, metrics such as FIP (3.83) and Siera (3.89) were of the opinion that Neris in the pen was a perfectly solid option.

The Braves have the opportunity to explore trading scenarios for Neris, but the likelihood is that it will become a free agent – be it by exemption or rejection of an order with a small league after eliminating the exemptions. Neris has a lengthy track record in the big leagues and continued to effectively classify the 30s to 3,27-e-in 267 1/3 Innerings from 2021-24 in 267 1/3 Innerings. Another club will probably look at a minor League deal and hope that a longer structure in the minors will come back on the track.
