Jarvis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and a double in Thursday's 10-5 win over the Pirates.
Jarvis extended Atlanta's lead to 5-2 in the fourth inning with his two-run, 397-foot blast off Cam Sanders, the first homer of his big-league career. Jarvis has seen regular playing time at shortstop since he was recalled from Triple-A in early July. He's gone 6-for-19 across five games after slashing .313/.406/.461 with six homers across 348 plate appearances in the minors this year.

Braves' Bryce Elder: Struggles continue Thursday
Rotowire
Elder did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Pirates, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks across four innings. He struck out three.
Elder was hurt by the long ball again Thursday, with all four of the runs charged to the right-hander coming on three homers. Elder's now given up 22 earned runs and eight homers across 18 innings in his last four outings. He'll head into the All-Star break with a 4.12 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 86:32 K:BB across 18 starts (102.2 innings) this season.
Atlanta outrighted Camargo to Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports.
He is no longer on the 40-man roster, but Camargo will stick around in the organization as catching depth. The 27-year-old went 1-for-2 at the plate in a brief stint with Atlanta earlier this season, and he's slashed only .216/.254/.305 at Gwinnett.
Atlanta designated Azocar for assignment Thursday.
Azocar was with the major-league club for a few days while Eli White was on paternity leave. With White returned to the active roster, Azocar is now headed to waivers. Azocar has re-signed with Atlanta on a minor-league deal after clearing waivers on two occasions earlier this season, so he could stick around.

Braves' Eli White: Returns from paternity leave
Rotowire
Atlanta activated White from the paternity leave list Thursday.
White was away from the club the past few days while he and his family welcomed a new addition. He'll be available for Thursday's series finale in Pittsburgh.
Braves' Grant Holmes: Delivers five scoreless frames
Rotowire
Holmes did not factor into the decision Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing three hits and a walk across five scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Since returning to Atlanta's rotation, Holmes has given up just one earned run on eight hits across 10 frames in two starts. He's given up just two runs in his last four appearances (18.2 innings) overall. Holmes' ERA now sits at 3.61 on the season with a 1.32 WHIP and 76:39 K:BB across 87.1 innings.

Rotowire
Iglesias earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Pirates, allowing one walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
After giving up four runs in his last two appearances, including three in his first blown save of the season Monday, Iglesias rebounded with a strong effort against the Pirates, working around a two-out walk to lock down his 18th save. Overall, Iglesias sports a 2.30 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 31.1 innings this year.

Braves' Jim Jarvis: Sitting after three straight starts
Rotowire
Jarvis is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Jarvis had started at shortstop in each of Atlanta's last three games, but after going 2-for-10 with a walk and an RBI during that stretch, he'll retreat to the bench while Jorge Mateo covers the position Wednesday. Jarvis and Mateo will likely share time at the position until Ronald Acuna's (hamstring) eventual return from the 10-day injured list allows Atlanta to move Mauricio Dubon out of the corner outfield and back into an everyday role at shortstop.
Braves' Dominic Smith: Not starting against righty
Rotowire
Smith is not in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt in Pittsburgh.
It's righty Jared Jones on the bump for the Pirates, but the left-handed-hitting Smith will begin the contest on the bench. It's the first time since May 6 that Smith has been absent from the lineup when the opposition has a right-hander on the mound. Drake Baldwin is getting a start at designated hitter, and Joey Bart will be Atlanta's catcher.

Braves' AJ Smith-Shawver: Stellar in latest rehab start
Rotowire
Smith-Shawver (elbow) struck out five and allowed two hits and no walks over four scoreless innings in a rehab start Sunday with Single-A Augusta.
Nearing the finish line in his recovery from June 2025 Tommy John surgery, Smith-Shawver has looked sharp through two rehab outings with Augusta, spinning seven innings of one-run ball while posting a 9:0 K:BB. He'll likely move up to a higher-level affiliate for his third minor-league start and will be looking to build on his pitch count after tossing 46 (33 strikes) in Sunday's outing. If Smith-Shawver can come close to maintaining the form he's displayed thus far during his rehab assignment in his subsequent minor-league outings, Atlanta should have room for him in the big-league rotation when he likely returns from the 60-day injured list at some point shortly after the All-Star break.

Braves' Victor Mederos: Rejoins major-league club
Rotowire
Atlanta recalled Mederos from Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Atlanta is swapping in Mederos for Connor Thomas, who was optioned to Triple-A after covering 3.2 innings out of the bullpen in Tuesday's loss to the Pirates. Mederos made one two-inning scoreless appearance for Atlanta earlier this season and holds a 5.40 ERA and 39:22 K:BB over 43.1 frames at the Triple-A level in 2026.

Braves' Connor Thomas: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
Atlanta optioned Thomas to Triple-A Gwinnett on Wednesday.
Thomas was called up Tuesday and allowed four runs over 3.2 innings in a loss to the Pirates. Atlanta is replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm, summoning Victor Mederos from Gwinnett.
Waldrep (0-1) took the loss against the Pirates on Tuesday, allowing seven runs on six hits and five walks with two strikeouts over 3.1 innings.
All seven runs came via two Ryan O'Hearn home runs, but Waldrep threw just 45 of 84 pitches for strikes and generated only five whiffs. The 24-year-old has been shaky so far in his return to Atlanta's rotation, allowing 10 earned runs over two starts after throwing two scoreless frames in relief in his first appearance of the season June 28. He'll try to find his footing entering the All-Star break in a road matchup with the Cardinals this weekend.
