Chavez tossed a quality start Friday, holding the Astros to three runs on four hits over 6.1 innings. He walked two, struck out four and did not factor into the decision in a 7-6 loss.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran starter pitched well against a powerful Astros lineup, notching his third quality start of the season. The overall results have been mediocre (4.46 ERA), but Chavez has provided some value for deep and AL-only owners due to his ability to generate strikeouts (30 in 36.1 innings) and consistently eat up five to six innings per outing. The 33-year-old's next turn in the rotation comes against his former club, the Oakland Athletics, next Wednesday.
