Jesse Chavez will start Sunday against the Marlins. Chavez took Brandon Morrow's spot in the rotation Tuesday against the Brewers and gave up four runs on three hits and four walks over just 2 2/3 innings. He can be ignored in fantasy leagues. Henderson Alvarez will now start Monday against the Red Sox while Aaron Laffey will get the nod on Tuesday.

Blue Jays recalled RHP Jesse Chavez from Triple-A Las Vegas. He'll take Brandon Morrow's spot in the starting rotation Tuesday against the Brewers. Chavez has a 3.68 ERA in 11 starts this year with Triple-A Las Vegas, but he owns an underwhelming 5.37 ERA over 144 relief appearances in the big leagues. He can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Blue Jays purchased the contract of RHP Jesse Chavez from Triple-A Las Vegas. The Jays refused to sell Chavez to a Japanese club for $1 million, so we figured he'd be on his way up soon. The right-hander posted a 3.72 ERA over 10 starts at Triple-A and should settle into a long relief role.

According to NPB Tracker's Partick Newman, the Blue Jays recently rebuffed a $1 million offer for the rights to Jesse Chavez. The deal was offered by the Softbank Hawks of Japan's Pacific League. Newman notes that the contract would have paid Chavez $3 million over two years. Chavez has a spotty track record in the majors so the Jays must view him as valuable bullpen depth. He currently has a 3.72 ERA at hitter-friendly Triple-A Las Vegas.
