How Atlanta Braves New Rookie Shortstop Could Impact Team This Season
The Braves promoted an infielder to the MLB team on Wednesday.
The Atlanta Braves promoted infielder Jim Jarvis to the big league roster on Wednesday, the team announced. Outfielder José Azócar was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Jarvis is hitting ninth and playing shortstop in his MLB debut on Wednesday.
With Ha-Seong Kim set to return from injury fairly soon and Mauricio Dubon playing well, the move is somewhat surprising. However, Jarvis is a player who could make an impact in Atlanta. He has played at the minor league level since 2023.
The Braves have continued to monitor his progress. The shortstop has impressed at Triple-A this season, hitting . 305/.
418/. 445 across 33 games played. The 25-year-old also hit four home runs and six doubles while stealing 15 bases.
