Overview
- The Braves announced Thursday that they recalled 25-year-old infielder Jim Jarvis and designated veteran Rowdy Tellez for assignment during their series in St. Louis.
- Jarvis returns after debuting earlier this season and arriving from Triple-A Gwinnett where he hit .313 with six home runs and 36 RBIs, giving the club multi-position infield flexibility.
- Tellez was on a minor-league deal signed in March, had his contract selected on June 10, and leaves the 40-man roster after a brief major-league stint that included 11 plate appearances with a single, a home run, and a walk.
- The move addresses the Braves’ need for reliable infield options as Ha‑Seong Kim continues an extended offensive slump with minimal production this year.
- Manager Walt Weiss framed the transaction as part of broader roster adjustments and optimism about returning pieces, and Tellez will now clear waivers or be traded, released, or outrighted depending on claims.
