He’s back. Chavez has been a mainstay in Atlanta’s bullpen mix for nearly a half-decade at this juncture with multiple stints over the past few years. The 41-year-old journeyman joins the club’s relief corps ahead of Sunday morning’s showdown against the Orioles at Truist Park. He made two appearances earlier this season before being jettisoned and returning on a minor league pact.

Murphy had a 106.1 mph double in the seventh inning of the game and then rocked a 411-foot solo home run in the ninth that left the bat at 103.6 mph. The veteran now has 13 home runs and 31 RBI on the season while splitting time with rookie Drake Baldwin. There have been some trade rumors swirling around Murphy, and a new home might be best for his fantasy value. It’s tough to use him if he remains on the short side of a platoon in Atlanta.

Holmes struck out five and walked three, and the only real damage against him was a two-run home run allowed to Jackson Holliday in the third inning. Holmes got plenty of swings and misses today with 17 whiffs on 49 swings for a 35 percent whiff rate and 30 percent CSW. He struggled with his four-seam fastball command, but that’s his worst pitch, so he was able to cover it up with tremendous command of his cutter and plenty of whiffs on his slider. Holmes is on a good roll lately and is worth starting next week against the Cardinals.

Ozuna takes a seat after an 0-for-4 performance out of the sixth spot in Atlanta’s lineup on Saturday left him hitting .159 (18-for-113) with one homer and 32 strikeouts over his last 30 games. He’s just 3-for-24 over his last seven games. The 34-year-old veteran has been playing through a hip tear for most of this season, but has insisted that it isn’t impacting his performance. We’re not convinced. It’ll be rookie sensation Drake Baldwin taking over at DH and batting sixth on Sunday morning in his place.
