Jim Jarvis hits first MLB homer in win over PIT

Jim Jarvis

ATL Shortstop

Player Stats

Jim Jarvis was 3-for-5 with a two-run homer in Atlanta’s 10-5 win over the Pirates on Thursday.

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.

Jim Jarvis

ATL Shortstop

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jim Jarvis is at shortstop and hitting ninth on Saturday against the Yankees.

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.
Ha-Seong Kim

ATL Shortstop #7

Braves placed SS Ha-Seong Kim on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 1, with right middle finger inflammation.

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.

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.
Jim Jarvis

ATL Shortstop

Braves optioned INF Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett.

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

Braves recalled SS Jim Jarvis from Triple-A Gwinnett

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.
Jim Jarvis

ATL Shortstop

Braves acquired INF Jim Jarvis from the Tigers for RHP Rafael Montero.

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.

Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports that the Phillies are currently discussing a potential deal with Nestor Cortes (biceps).

Cortes has been out for all of 2026 while recovering from surgery on his left arm. There’s no guarantee that the 31-year-old will be able to pitch in 2026, but he could be a potential multi-inning option for the final month — and potentially the postseason — for Philadelphia.

Mets recalled INF Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse.

Wagaman is up with Jorge Polanco (ankle) once again being placed on the injured list due to his ankle issue. Wagaman will likely see some time over the final month-plus, but it’s hard to see much fantasy significance in his profile.

Mets optioned RHP Jack Weisenburger to Triple-A Syracuse.

Weisenburger threw 1 1/3 innings during Tuesday’s game against the Mets, so New York will bring up a fresh arm for the bullpen. Weisenburger seems to be a likely candidate for promotion when rosters expand.

Mets placed INF Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list with left ankle bursitis.

Lower body issues have plagued Polanco throughout the season — and really, for much of his career — and the 33-year-old will once again hit the shelf due to the ankle troubles. The 33-year-old could return at some point near September, but this is a lost first season for Polanco with the Metropolitans.

Matt Wilkinson will start Wednesday’s game against the Guardians.

Wilkinson will get the nod for his MLB debut. The man they call “Tugboat” has a 5.15 ERA and 43/17 ERA in his 43 2/3 innings for Triple-A Sacramento. Wilkson has a chance to be a decent option in the coming years, but it’d be risky to trust him as a streamer Wednesday.

Lourdes Gurriel (adductor) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

It was his first rehab game since being placed on the injured list nearly a month ago with an adductor strain. The outfielder didn’t have any success, but the important thing for the 32-year-old was that he was able to get back on the field. He should e an option for the D-backs before the end of the month, if there are no setbacks, of course.

Ranger Suarez yielded four runs in 5 1/3 innings Tuesday in a win over the Diamondbacks.

Congratulations to Suarez on his first decision since June. All of the runs came on Gabriel Moreno’s grand slam in the third, making this Suarez’s first win while giving up four runs since Sept. 21, 2023. He’s now 5-3 while posting a 3.41 ERA in 22 starts this season, and he’ll pitch in Miami next time out.
