Chavez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left big toe sprain, retroactive to Aug. 23.

EDGE Analysis

Chavez has struggled during recent appearances and now carries an 8.74 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 11.1 innings this season as he's blown three saves. It's unclear how the 37-year-old sustained his injury or whether he'll be able to return after spending the minimum amount of time on the injured list.

Chavez allowed two runs in two-thirds of an inning and blew his third save of the season in Thursday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Chavez entered in the bottom of the eighth inning to preserve a 6-5 lead but yielded back-to-back home runs to Ty France and Austin Hedges. It was the sixth time in 11 outings the reliever has allowed runs, and Chavez has given up six long balls in just 10.2 innings. He was once considered an important bullpen piece, but an 8.71 ERA (10.23 FIP) and 5.2 HR/9 should put an end to those thoughts.

EDGE Analysis

This is not exactly earth-shattering news -- after all, Chavez was projected for a mid-May return before the shutdown -- but it's nice to get confirmation that he has not experienced any setbacks in recent months. The veteran's overall numbers from last year are ugly, though he was pitching quite well with a 3.30 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in the first half before the elbow issue popped up. He will likely pitch exclusively in relief this season.

EDGE Analysis

Chavez was headed for a stint on the injured list before spring training shut down. He made just one appearance during the Cactus League, as the elbow injury has lingered since the end of last season.

EDGE Analysis

Chavez underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow in September. While he was supposedly at full strength to start camp, he's pitched just once in Cactus League action and evidently needs more time.

EDGE Analysis

Chavez had his 2019 season cut short by an elbow impingement that eventually required surgery. It was an issue he dealt with, but he finally made the decision to go under the knife. With experience as both a starter and reliever, Chavez was moved into the rotation at one point during 2019, but he'll throw out of the bullpen in 2020.

Chavez underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow Monday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chavez finished the season with a 4.85 ERA in 78 innings. He'll be shut down for eight weeks but will then start a throwing program in time to be ready for the start of spring training.

Chavez (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Chavez has already been ruled out for the remainder of the season with an elbow injury; he'll be reexamined this week to determine if surgery is necessary to address the bone spur in his right elbow. In the first year of his two-year, $8 million contract with Texas, the veteran hurler posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 72:22 K:BB across 78 innings. Yohander Mendez (elbow) was activated from the IL and optioned to the minors in a corresponding move.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was placed on the injured list earlier this month, with the injury initially labeled a right elbow impingement. Further testing revealed a bone spur, and Chavez will be examined again next week to determine if surgery will be necessary. Chavez posted a 4.85 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 72:22 K:BB over 78 innings in the first year of a two-year, $8 million contract with Texas.

Chavez was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a right elbow impingement, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear as to when this injury cropped up, but Chavez has surrendered five runs over his last two outings, so it could explain his recent struggles. David Carpenter has been recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.
