While MLB.com still doesn’t have a starter listed for the Braves, but we have this information via beat reporter David O’Brien…
Translation: Bullpen game this evening for the Braves.
Jesse Chavez hasn’t started a game this season. In his previous 8 appearances so far his max number of pitches has been 36 and his max innings pitched is 2.2 IP. Chavez pitched for the Braves last season, but actually started with the Cubs this year. As a member of the Cubs he pitched against the Brewers last month on April 10th
Below is Chavez’s line from that earlier appearance against the Crew. Yelich had the RBI double and Tellez had the 2-run home run in what ended up being a 5-4 Brewers victory.
