Braves Recall OF Brewer Hicklen, Option INF Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett

The Atlanta Braves announced they have recalled outfielder Brewer Hicklen to the active roster and optioned infielder Jim Jarvis to Triple-A Gwinnett.

The move formalizes what had already been in motion: the Braves had appointed Hicklen as the additional roster player for the Little League Classic against the Brewers. That temporary designation has now converted into a standard recall, with Jarvis heading to Gwinnett to clear the corresponding spot.

For Hicklen, it's a return to Atlanta. For Jarvis, it's a trip to the same affiliate currently hosting Reynaldo López, who began a rehab assignment there after being placed on the 15-day IL July 30 with left knee inflammation — a detail the club has previously announced.

What remains unconfirmed is how long Hicklen stays on the active roster or what role he carries beyond the Classic context. The Braves have been active at the margins of their roster in recent days, and this transaction reflects the kind of roster arithmetic that follows a specialty-game designation once the game itself is in the books.
