The Atlanta Braves are making their final roster decisions as the season is set to begin on Thursday in Philadelphia. On Tuesday, the club outrighted right-hander Jackson Stephens to Triple-A Gwinnett. The move cleared a roster spot for none other than fan-favorite Jesse Chavez.

That is the Jesse Chavez spot, you’d think.

The Braves signed 40-year-old Chavez to a minor league deal at the beginning of the week. He spent his Spring Training with the Chicago White Sox, where he logged an 11.57 ERA in 7 games.
Fans should be pretty excited to have Chavez back in the Atlanta threads. As for Stephens, he will likely return to the major leagues at some point this season, assuming a pitching injury comes into effect.
