Atlanta optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Jarvis has gone just 3-for-38 at the plate in August and had seen his playing time at shortstop taper off. Mauricio Dubon has been getting most of his reps at shortstop lately for Atlanta, and he should remain the primary option at that position.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Sitting out versus righty
Rotowire
Jarvis is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Milwaukee.
Jarvis' playing time has been uneven lately, as this will be his third time on the bench in the last four contests, and two of them have come versus righties. The rookie infielder is just 3-for-35 at the plate in August, and Mauricio Dubon might be the preferred option at shortstop moving forward if Jarvis is unable to right the ship.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Idle Wednesday
Rotowire
Jarvis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.
Jarvis will hit the bench after he went 5-for-19 (.263 average) with two RBI and one run while starting in Atlanta's previous six games. With the club recently getting all of Ronald Acuna, Mike Yastrzemski and Sean Murphy back from the injured list and also adding Lane Thomas ahead of the trade deadline, Jarvis could end up ceding more time at shortstop to Mauricio Dubon, who may not be needed in the outfield as frequently.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Idle for first game of twin bill
Rotowire
Jarvis is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mets.
Mauricio Dubon will get the nod at shortstop in place of the left-handed-hitting Jarvis, who will head to the bench while lefty Sean Manaea takes the hill for the Mets in the first game of the day. Jarvis will likely be back in the starting nine to face off against Mets righty Christian Scott in the nightcap.

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.
