The Atlanta Braves welcomed back 40-year-old right-hander Jesse Chavez on a minor league deal Monday.

The 16-year veteran was released by the Chicago White Sox on Saturday after posting an 11.57 ERA this spring.

Atlanta invited Chavez to spring training on the next-to-last day of big-league camp. Opening Day is Thursday in Philadelphia.

Chavez has pitched for nine organizations and was 1-0 with a 1.56 ERA in 36 appearances (one start) for the Braves last season.

In 607 career appearances (85 starts), Chavez has gone 49-63 with a 4.30 ERA and has 981 strikeouts in 1,070 2/3 innings.
