Braves send Jackson Stephens to Triple-A

The 40-year-old Chavez was signed by the Braves a day earlier after being released by the Chicago White Sox, who jettisoned the veteran right-hander after he gave up nine earned runs in seven innings during spring training. This will be Chavez's fifth stint with Atlanta. When Chavez returned late in the season, the Braves felt he was not as effective as he was before the injury and left him off their postseason roster.
