The Atlanta Braves roster has been in a constant state of flux<\/a>, as injuries have hit the roster hard to begin the year. Thankfully for the Braves, they’re the healthiest they’ve been all season.<\/p>\n

The Braves got back right-handers Spencer Strider<\/a> and Raisel Iglesias<\/a> during their series with the Colorado Rockies and catcher Sean Murphy<\/a> while playing the Seattle Mariners. The one area on the roster that the Braves have struggled with this season is finding bench depth. With outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr.<\/a> on the injured list (Grade 1 left hamstring strain), the Braves’ bench will come more into play.<\/p>\n

The Atlanta Braves Make a Roster Move To Add to the Bench<\/h2>\n

According to a team announcement on X on Wednesday, the Braves have selected the contract of infielder Jim Jarvis<\/a>, while they designated outfielder Jose Azocar<\/a> for assignment. Azocar only had a cup of coffee with the Braves, striking out in two at-bats.<\/p>\n

The #Braves<\/a> today selected INF Jim Jarvis to the major league roster and designated OF Jos\u00e9 Az\u00f3car for assignment.<\/p>\n
