Braves Option Infielder & Call up Outfielder

The Atlanta Braves have implemented some roster adjustments, with the team option-ing infielder Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett and calling up outfielder Brewer Hicklen.

Jim Jarvis made his first appearance in Major League Baseball with the Braves this season. In 38 games played for the National League East club, he has contributed one home run, one triple, five doubles, 11 RBI, and a .207 batting average. Jarvis is now aiming to impress down in Triple-A Gwinnett as he seeks a possible promotion to the Braves' roster before the season concludes.

At just 25 years old, Jarvis has performed well in the minor leagues this season. He has hit six home runs, 20 doubles, 36 RBI, and posted a .313 batting average in 76 games with Gwinnett. His consistent performance has demonstrated his potential as a valuable player, and the Braves are hopeful he can make an impact at the major league level.

On the other hand, outfielder Brewer Hicklen has also received an opportunity to join the Braves' major league roster. Hicklen has recorded zero home runs, three RBI, and a .368 batting average in eight games with Atlanta this season. In 96 games with Triple-A Gwinnett, he has showcased his talent as a top hitter, posting 18 home runs, 64 RBI, and a .302 batting average.

Given his impressive performances in the minor leagues, the Braves have granted Hicklen a chance to showcase his skills in the majors. The decision to call up Hicklen highlights the team's confidence in his abilities and their desire to explore his potential in the MLB.
