Chavis went 0-for-2 with three walks and two runs Monday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis entered the game having earned only nine free passes on the season and never multiple in a game. However, Chavis took advantage of Caleb Kilian's inability to consistently find the strike zone -- he issued five total walks -- and has now reached base in eight of his last 11 games. He hasn't produced much otherwise in that span, as he has tallied only four runs scored and four RBI. Overall, Chavis has maintained a .257/.307/.423 line across 192 plate appearances on the season.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis started the past six games and will receive a contest off after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during the matinee. Yu Chang will start at first base in Chavis' place in the nightcap.

Chavis went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run Monday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis took Zack Thompson yard in the fifth inning to record his sixth home run of the season. It was also his fourth multi-hit effort in his last 11 starts, which has helped him record a .244 average in that span despite striking out at a 31.9 percent clip. Chavis has maintained a .327 wOBA and 111 wRC+ across 169 plate appearances on the campaign, and he should be locked into the starting first base role so long as Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) is sidelined.

Chavis went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Friday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis hit a ground-rule double in the seventh inning to tally his 19th RBI of the season. He has three extra-base hits in his last nine games, also tallying four RBI and four runs scored in that span. Chavis should remain locked into the starting first base role while hitting cleanup so long as Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) remains sidelined.

Chavis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis will get a breather for the series finale after he donned the Golden Sombrero in Tuesday's 5-3 loss. Yu Chang will draw the start at first base in place of Chavis, who went 5-for-20 with a home run, a double, two walks, four runs, three RBI and a stolen base in his last five starts before Tuesday's four-strikeout performance.

Chavis (forearm) went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis opened the scoring in the first inning with a blast off Dodgers starter Julio Urias, and the Pirates never looked back. This was Chavis' first start since last Friday as he battled a forearm injury. The 26-year-old lifted his slash line to .293/.331/.500 with the two-hit effort, and he's added five homers, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored without a stolen base in 40 contests this year. With Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) and Daniel Vogelbach (hamstring) on the injured list, Chavis has a chance to see near-everyday reps at first base in the short term.

Chavis (forearm) is starting at first base and batting third Tuesday against the Dodgers, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis sat out the past three games after exiting Friday's contest with left forearm discomfort, but he'll return to the starting nine Tuesday. The 26-year-old has a .751 OPS through 22 games in May and should continue to see plenty of playing time at first base with Yoshi Tsutsugo (back) on the injured list.

Chavis (forearm) isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis continues to deal with discomfort in his left forearm, resulting in another start for Josh VanMeter at first base. The Pirates have not disclosed whether Chavis will be available off the bench Monday evening.

Chavis (forearm) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

According to Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com, Pirates assistant general manager Kevan Graves revealed Sunday that X-rays on Chavis' left forearm showed no major damage, but the 26-year-old is still dealing with some discomfort. Josh VanMeter will pick up another start at first base while Chavis sits for a second straight contest.

Chavis (forearm) will sit Saturday against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Chavis left Friday's game with left forearm discomfort, an issue which stems from when he was struck in the arm by a pitch Wednesday against the Rockies. Josh VanMeter will start at first base Saturday.
