Braves Promote Jim Jarvis, Designate José Azócar for Assignment

The move signals short-term infield cover during an injury crunch.

Overview

Atlanta selected infielder Jim Jarvis to the major-league roster and designated outfielder José Azócar for assignment, creating Jarvis’s first MLB opportunity.
Jarvis debuted at shortstop, went 0-for-2 with a strikeout, and started a 6-4-3 double play in a loss to the Mariners.
His call-up followed a strong Triple-A start with Gwinnett, where he hit about .308/.415/.445 with a high walk rate and 15 steals in 17 tries.
Team context points to a brief stay, as the Braves expect Ha-Seong Kim to return within roughly a week to 10 days, which could send Jarvis back to Triple-A.
Azócar now enters a window of up to five days for a trade or waivers, and because he is out of minor-league options, a claiming club would need to keep him on its MLB roster.
