Availability
Jim Jarvis was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Jarvis has been mired in a prolonged slump and has seen his playing time drop as a result. The 25-year-old rookie has proven to be a tremendous defensive shortstop, but the slumping Braves need more offense right now and will go with Mauricio Dubon as the everyday starter at the position. Brewer Hicklen has been called up in a corresponding move.
Jim Jarvis went 2-for-3 with a triple, a walk, two RBI, and a run scored in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Jarvis was really the only Braves' player to do much Tuesday night. The rookie shortstop picked up his first career triple, and he's now sporting a solid .292/.333/.458 slash line with five extra-base hits across 15 games for the Braves so far this season. It'll be interesting to see what the club chooses to do with him once Ha-Seong Kim (finger) returns from the IL, but Jarvis has certainly earned the regular playing time.
Jim Jarvis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and a double in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Jarvis not only belted his first career MLB homer in the fourth inning of Thursday's win, but he also added a couple more base knocks and multiple slick plays at shortstop. The rookie has now gone 6-for-19 overall at the plate since he was recalled a week ago.
Jim Jarvis called up from Triple-A Gwinnett ahead of Thursday's game against the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Jarvis will head up to the bigs for the second time, as he appeared in two games for the Braves earlier this season, going 1-for-5 with a couple of strikeouts at the plate. Jarvis has had plenty of success at the plate in Triple-A this year, posting an impressive .313/.406/.461 slash line with 29 extra-base hits and 32 steals across 76 games. Given the Braves' need for steady production from shortstop, Jarvis could be given a shot at regular playing time, at least on the strong side of a platoon. Veteran slugger Rowdy Tellez was designated for assignment to make room for Jarvis on the roster.
The Braves optioned INF Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett.
Fantasy Impact
