Jarvis went 2-for-3 with a walk, a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Padres.
The rookie is proving to be quite a find for Atlanta in the 11th round of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Jarvis has started six straight games at shortstop, going 6-for-21 (.286) during that span with two doubles, a triple, three RBI and five runs. The impending return of Ronald Acuna (hamstring) could shuffle around the lineup, but Jarvis may be playing well enough to hang onto his job, with Mauricio Dubon instead continuing to see most of his action in left field while Mike Yastrzemski displaces the struggling Dominic Smith as the primary DH against right-handed pitching.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Settling in at shortstop
Rotowire
Jarvis will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Monday's game against the Padres.
Jarvis will cover shortstop for the fifth game in a row, with three of those starts coming against righties and two coming versus lefties. Since being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett on July 2, Jarvis has posted a strong .297/.333/.459 slash line with one home run, four RBI and five runs in 11 games and has provided solid defense in the middle infield. So long as he keeps hitting, Jarvis should be able to hold down a near-everyday role at shortstop while Mauricio Dubon is needed in the outfield as long as at least one of Ronald Acuna (hamstring) and Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) remain on the shelf.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Big day in win
Rotowire
Jarvis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and a double in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Pirates.
Jarvis extended Atlanta's lead to 5-2 in the fourth inning with his two-run, 397-foot blast off Cam Sanders, the first homer of his big-league career. Jarvis has seen regular playing time at shortstop since he was recalled from Triple-A in early July. He's gone 6-for-19 across five games after slashing .313/.406/.461 with six homers across 348 plate appearances in the minors this year.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Sitting after three straight starts
Rotowire
Jarvis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Jarvis had started at shortstop in each of Atlanta's last three games, but after going 2-for-10 with a walk and an RBI during that stretch, he'll retreat to the bench while Jorge Mateo covers the position Wednesday. Jarvis and Mateo will likely share time at the position until Ronald Acuna's (hamstring) eventual return from the 10-day injured list allows Atlanta to move Mauricio Dubon out of the corner outfield and back into an everyday role at shortstop.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Jarvis from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.
Jarvis has had a breakout season this year at Gwinnett, slashing .313/.406/.461 with six home runs, 32 stolen bases and a 46:55 BB:K over 76 games. He was up briefly with Atlanta in May, going 1-for-5 at the plate. Shortstop is Jarvis' main position, and he's expected to start there Thursday versus the Cardinals, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Jarvis would have some fantasy potential -- particularly in the stolen-base department -- if he receives regular playing time, but there's no guarantee that will happen.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old was called up last week and will return to the minors after going 1-for-5 with two strikeouts in his first two MLB games. Jarvis has an .863 OPS with four homers and 15 steals in 33 games at Gwinnett this year and could get another look in the majors later in 2026 if Atlanta needs more infield depth.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Receives first big-league call-up
Rotowire
Atlanta selected Jarvis' contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Outfielder Jose Azocar was designated for assignment in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Jarvis, who will be making his MLB debut if and when he gets into a game. Though he's primarily been used at shortstop during his minor-league career, Jarvis has experience at second base and third base and is likely to serve as a utility infielder for Atlanta. Jarvis has shown excellent contact skills, plate discipline and speed during his time with Gwinnett this season, posting a .305/.418/.445 batting line while notching 15 steals in 17 attempts over 153 plate appearances.
