Chavis is not in the lineup Thursday against the Yankees, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Chavis will retreat to the bench for what appears to be a routine day off following a string of 18 straight starts; the youngster hit .250/.313/.408 with four homers and 14 RBI during that stretch. In his place, Steve Pearce is starting at first base while Eduardo Nunez occupies the keystone.
