Chacin was outrighted to Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chacin was called up to the big leagues around the end of August, and received action in six games, allowing seven earned runs off 11 hits and four walks in six innings of relief work. The 24-year-old right-hander pitched extremely well at the Triple-A level this season -- 2.60 ERA and 1.30 WHIP -- but will need greater exposure to major-league batters if he's going to succeed at the next level.

Chacin's contract was purchased from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Chacin has proven himself to be a formidable reliever at the Triple-A level this season, as he's built a 2.60 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 44 games (69.1 innings) with Louisville. However, he's walked 27 batters in that time, so there's certainly room for improvement in terms of control. In a corresponding move, Blake Wood was designated for assignment.
