Chavez gave up one hit and struck out four over three scoreless innings as the opener in Friday's 7-1 win over the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Even though it was his longest appearance of the season, the veteran right-hander didn't last long enough to qualify for the win, but Chavez got the Rangers headed in the right direction, firing 32 of 47 pitches for strikes. He'll likely remain in a long-relief/opener role, but his 3.35 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 38:15 K:BB over 40.1 innings comes with two wins and six holds, giving him modest fantasy value in some deep formats.
