"On second thought: Gustavo Chacin's stint as a member of the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs was a short one. Two days after Toronto optioned the left-handed starter to the Chiefs, the club reversed the transaction by voiding the option used on Chacin. Instead, the Jays placed the lefty back on the 15-day DL.
Chacin, who was originally placed on the DL with a shoulder injury on April 28, has gone 0-1 with an 11.12 ERA in two rehab outings at Triple-A. By being placed back on the DL, Chacin remains on the Major League roster, which means he's still eligible to receive his big-league salary, and can continue to build up his service time while rehabbing with Syracuse.
