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.
The #Braves today selected INF Jim Jarvis to the major league roster and designated OF José Azócar for assignment. — Atlanta Braves (@Braves) May 6, 2026 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’s 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’ll have a shot to make something happen at the big league level. There’s always a corresponding move and this time, it’s José Azócar’s turn to hop on the DFA cycle.
