The Chicago White Sox released 16-year veteran right-hander Jesse Chavez before Saturday's spring training game against the Seattle Mariners.

The 40-year old signed a minor league deal last month then posted an 11.57 ERA in seven spring appearances.

Chavez has pitched for nine organizations and was trying to make it 10 with the White Sox. He was 1-0 with a 1.56 ERA in 36 appearances (one start) for the Atlanta 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.
