Pirates' Michael Chavis: Reinstated from IL

Chavis (elbow) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.

As expected, the 26-year-old will rejoin the team for its three-game series against the Cubs. He is not in the lineup Tuesday night, but he will be available off the bench. Taylor Davis was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis and Connor Overton (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day IL Tuesday, opening roster spaces for Chavis and Jacob Stallings (concussion), who was reinstated from the 7-day IL.
