The Braves have made a somewhat eventful call-up ahead of their series finale against the Seattle Mariners. Following a strong start to the 2026 season in Triple-A and following up a successful 2025 campaign in Gwinnett as well, infielder Jim Jarvis has gotten the call to the big leagues to join the Atlanta Braves.<\/p>\n
Jarvis is currently slashing at a .305\/.418\/.445 clip for the Gwinnett Stripers, with a .398 wOBA, 135 wRC+ and four homers, to boot. This is after he flourished in Atlanta\u2019s minor league system after arriving in a trade that sent Rafael Soriano to Detroit. Jarvis has been doing pretty well with the Braves organization and now he\u2019ll have a shot to make something happen at the big league level.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s always a corresponding move and this time, it\u2019s Jos\u00e9 Az\u00f3car\u2019s turn to hop on the DFA cycle. Az\u00f3car\u2019s latest stint with the Braves saw him appear in two games \u2014 one as the starting right fielder on May 3 against the Rockies and the other as a pinch runner against the Mariners on this past Monday night. Az\u00f3car didn\u2019t record any hits but he did steal a base during his pinch-running stint so he\u2019s not leaving here empty-handed. We\u2019ll now have to wait and see if Az\u00f3car clears waivers and then it\u2019ll be up to him to decide whether or not he\u2019ll elect free agency or go to his minor league assignment \u2014 or he could just end up signing a minor league deal as a free agent to return. We\u2019ve seen this happen enough times with other guys already during this season.<\/p>\n
For now, though, it\u2019s time to see what one of the more intriguing prospects in the Braves system can do going forward. Who knows how long this\u2019ll last but hopefully we\u2019ll see Jim Jarvis make an impact now that he\u2019s been called up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Braves have made a somewhat eventful call-up ahead of their series finale against the Seattle Mariners.
