The Braves optioned rookie infielder Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett during Monday’s off day. Outfielder Brewer Hicklen remains on the active roster after being appointed the 27th man for the Little League Classic against Milwaukee on Sunday.

Poll: Checking In On The NL Rookie Of The Year Race
Earlier this month, I wrote about the candidates for the NL MVP and AL Cy Young awards. I picked those races because they’re especially close right now. In contrast, there is a clear front-runner for both the AL MVP (Yordan Alvarez) and NL Cy Young (Jacob Misiorowski). So, I hope you’ll forgive me if I […]

Braves Outright Danny Young
The Braves have sent left-hander Danny Young outright to Triple-A Gwinnett, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com.

Mariners Outright Jhonathan Díaz
The Mariners announced Monday that left-hander Jhonathan Díaz went unclaimed on waivers following his recent DFA. He’s been assigned outright to Triple-A Tacoma.
