    Braves recalled SS Jim Jarvis from Triple-A Gwinnett

    Jarvis was up with the Braves earlier in the year and went 1-for-5 in two games. He will be a bench player in Atlanta, but he gives them some additional help at shortstop and will be an asset as a pinch runner off the bench.

    Jarvis has seemingly taken over as Atlanta’s primary shortstop, even with Ha-Seong Kim back from the injured list, starting three of their last five games with Kim and Mauricio Dubón splitting the other two. The unheralded 25-year-old is hitting just .239/.287/.352 with one homer and 10 RBI across 97 plate appearances. He’ll need a strong finish to have any chance of being in the mix as an everyday option entering next season, lockout or not. Atlanta is going to be linked to a ton of shortstops in offseason trade rumors with Jarvis seemingly a stronger fit as a multi-position role player moving forward.
  • ATL Shortstop
    It was his first major-league homer. The 25-year-old Jarvis has started to get more at-bats as Jorge Mateo has cooled down, and Jarvis is now hitting .292/.320/.458 on the season in a paltry 25 at-bat sample. Jarvis was hitting .313/.406/.461 at Triple-A Gwinnett in 348 plate appearances this year and had stolen 32 bases there, so it’s plausible he’s fantasy-interesting if he can keep a high average. Deep leaguers should at least keep him on the radar if the playing time continues to shift in his direction.
  • ATL Shortstop #7
    Kim has barely played for Atlanta recently with Jorge Mateo basically taking over the starting shortstop role. The 30-year-old has endured a brutal season at the dish, hitting .068 (5-for-73) with zero homers and one steal in 82 plate appearances since making his season debut back on May 12. It’ll be Mateo and rookie Jim Jarvis filling the void at shortstop in his absence.
  • ATL Shortstop
    Jarvis appeared in two games for the Braves, going 1-for-5. He’s expendable now that Ha-Seong Kim is back from the injured list.
  • ATL Shortstop
    Jarvis was hitting .305/.418/.445 with four home runs, 25 runs scored, 20 RBI, and 15 steals in 33 Triple-A games. The 25-year-old will also start at shortstop and bat ninth on Wednesday in his MLB debut. With Mauricio Dubon now playing the outfield while Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) is on the IL, there is a chance for Jarvis to carve out some playing time. However, Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is also close to a return.
  • ATL Shortstop
    Jarvis has hit .242/.316/.336 with two homers and eight steals in 77 games this season for Double-A Erie. The 24-year-old was an 11th-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. He offers a ton of defensive versatility and improves Atlanta’s infield depth in the upper minors going forward.

    Blue Jays selected the contract of RHP Simeon Woods Richardson from Triple-A Buffalo.

    Woods Richardson provides the Blue Jays with a multi-inning relief option out of the bullpen as they kick off a four-game series against the sizzling-hot Red Sox. The 25-year-old reeled off 10 scoreless frames across three relief outings for Toronto after being acquired from the Twins back in early June.

    Blue Jays recalled INF Charles McAdoo from Triple-A Buffalo.

    McAdoo receives another chance in a reserve role with the Blue Jays after hitting .160 (4-for-25) with one homer and three RBI during an eight-game stint at the highest level earlier this season. He’s an interesting talent, and his defensive versatility makes him an ideal fit in a multi-positional bench role.

    Blue Jays optioned OF Davis Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Schneider simply hasn’t done enough at the highest level to hang onto a roster spot, hitting just .142 (16-for-113) with three homers, 12 RBI and one steal across 61 games for Toronto this season. The 27-year-old has put up some impressive numbers at Triple-A Buffalo, but he needs to show something in the majors for the Blue Jays to entrust him with a more extended opportunity again.

    Estrada has been up-and-down a handful of times over the last few weeks, making seven appearances for the Blue Jays during that span.

    Blue Jays designated C Willie MacIver for assignment.

    MacIver never made it up with the Blue Jays after coming over from the Rangers in a trade back in late April. The 29-year-old backstop figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and remain with the organization as emergency depth.

    Blue Jays sent OF Rudy Martin Jr. outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Martin will likely stick around with Toronto as organizational depth after passing through waivers unclaimed. The 30-year-old was added to the club’s 40-man roster last month, but never wound up being called up.

    Phillies recalled RHP Chase Shugart from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Shugart gets the nod to replace an injured Caleb Kilian (oblique) in Philadelphia’s bullpen prior to Monday’s series opener against the Cardinals. The 29-year-old has compiled an underwhelming 4.93 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45/16 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings of low-leverage work this season.

    Phillies placed RHP Caleb Kilian on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain.

    There’s a chance that Kilian’s season is over after suffering the injury over the weekend. The 29-year-old was hit hard in four relief outings for the Phillies after coming over from the Giants at the trade deadline last week.

    Mets recalled RHP Jonathan Pintaro from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Pintaro rejoins New York’s relief mix with closer Devin Williams hitting the injured list with a shoulder strain. The 28-year-old has allowed seven runs with a 15/5 K/BB ratio across 14 1/3 innings at the highest level this season.

    Mets placed RHP Devin Williams on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.

    Williams heads to the shelf after registering a disappointing 4.66 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 51/21 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old has converted just 16 of his 19 save chances this season. A quick glance under the hood reveals a more palatable 3.29 xERA and a bloated .388 BABIP, but his Mets debut has been an unmitigated disaster. His absence thrusts New York into a closer by committee situation with Kodai Senga and Daniel Duarte as the most likely candidates to inherit save opportunities, with rookie lefty Nate Lavender representing a dark horse for the role.
