Braves Option Jim Jarvis to Triple-A, Recall Brewer Hicklen

The Atlanta Braves have made a roster change by optioning shortstop Jim Jarvis back to Triple-A Gwinnett and recalling outfielder Brewer Hicklen to the major league team.

Jarvis had a promising start but has struggled significantly, hitting just .119 with one extra-base hit over the last 22 games. Despite his defensive skills, the Braves have decided to prioritize Mauricio Dubon as their starting shortstop as the season progresses.

This decision comes as the Braves aim to strengthen their lineup with the postseason approaching, particularly focusing on improving the performance of Sean Murphy behind the plate.
