Eligibility
Nationals infielder Michael Chavis is in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact
With the Nationals stacking right-handed bats against the left-handed Austin Gomber, Chavis is getting the starting nod at second base out of the seven-hole. The former top prospect has continued to struggle at the MLB level, hitting .264 with one homer and a .662 OPS across just 56 plate appearances with the big club this season.
Michael Chavis went 1-for-3 at the plate for the Nationals Wednesday afternoon, singling and driving in one run in a 7-2 loss to the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
Chavis is off to a steady start at the plate for the Nationals to begin the season, picking up hits in each of his first two games. The 27-year-old former top prospect for the Red Sox will look to carve out more of a regular opportunity in a Washington lineup lacking in quality options at the plate for manager Dave Martinez.
Washington Nationals infielder Michael Chavis has officially made the club's Opening Day roster as the fourth bench player.
Fantasy Impact
Chavis looked the part of a solid major leaguer as a 23-year-old rookie with the 2019 Red Sox, hitting 18 homers alongside a solid .323 wOBA in 95 games. While he's hit for a decent amount of power, Chavis' career 82 wRC+ is 18% below league average while he's hit just .237 across 309 career games.
Michael Chavis has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Washington Nationals. He has a non-roster invite to spring training and can make up to $1 million if he makes the major league roster.
Fantasy Impact
He also has a June 1st out if he is not on the Major League roster. Chavis played 129 games with the Pirates last season, hitting .229 with 14 HRs and an 80 wRC+.
Michael Chavis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored during Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact
Chavis tied the game with a seventh-inning solo shot, his 14th homer of the year. The first baseman also came around to score in the ninth, plating a run that put Pittsburgh up two. Chavis is batting .244 with 42 RBI this season.
