  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Headed to bullpen

    Jarvis will begin the season as a reliever, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Jarvis was nominally in the mix for the rotation this spring, but Ryne Nelson and Tommy Henry earned slots ahead of him. As such, Jarvis moves to the bullpen, where he'll serve as the Diamondbacks' long arm in a multi-inning role. He could be relied upon early as Arizona navigates an injury to Eduardo Rodriguez (lat).

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Remains in rotation mix

    Jarvis is still in the mix for the fifth starter job, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Gilbert re-examined the competition for the No. 5 job after the Diamondbacks optioned Slade Cecconi to minor-league camp Monday. Cecconi was seen as part of a three-man grouping that also includes Tommy Henry and Ryne Nelson, but Jarvis has been building up innings despite not making a Cactus League start. The right-hander was up to 3.1 innings his last time out, when Jarvis allowed two hits and a walk while striking out five without ceding a run. The conventional thought is that Nelson is the leader at this stage of spring.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Knocked around Sunday

    Jarvis allowed five runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning in Sunday's spring game against the Brewers.

    Jarvis, who was scheduled to throw the fifth and sixth innings, but was unable to complete either frame, per Michael McDermott of SI.com. The right-hander threw 47 pitches, 29 for strikes. "You make some middle-middle mistakes, you're going to get banged around," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. "Hopefully he starts to command the baseball a little bit better and work through some innings without having that pitch count climb." If Jarvis, who came up through the minors as a starter, were to make the roster, it would be as a multi-inning reliever. Through two appearances, he's allowed eight runs on seven hits and three walks over two innings.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Loses postseason roster spot

    Jarvis isn't on the Diamondbacks' NLDS roster, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Although Jarvis put up a 3.04 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 23.2 innings in the majors this season, the Diamondbacks didn't use him out of the bullpen during their wild-card series against the Brewers. He'll now be cast off the roster ahead of their Divisional Series matchup against the Dodgers in favor of Kyle Nelson.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Fans three in short appearance

    Jarvis allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits over 2.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Astros. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.

    Jarvis entered the game in the first inning after Kyle Nelson got off to a rocky start as the opener. Since the start of September, Jarvis allowed three earned runs over 11.2 frames. He registered a solid 3.04 in 23.2 MLB innings this season, mostly as a bullpen arm. The right-handed rookie could compete for a rotation spot with Arizona in 2024.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Slated to open Thursday's game

    Jarvis is listed as the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher in Thursday's game against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, Jesse Friedman of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Jarvis made 16 starts at Triple-A Reno this season, but each of his first nine big-league appearances with Arizona have come out of the bullpen. Though he'll draw his first MLB start Thursday, Jarvis hasn't covered more than 3.2 innings in any of his appearances with Arizona or Reno since the beginning of August, so he may not be asked to work especially deep into the contest. Even against a White Sox squad that ranks last in the majors with a 68 wRC+ in September, Jarvis doesn't make for an inspiring streaming option.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Finishes off Cubs

    Jarvis struck out one over two scoreless innings in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.

    Jarvis was the last of four Arizona relievers in support of starter Ryne Nelson, who was yanked after 3.1 innings (75 pitches, 40 strikes). The bullpen combined for 6.2 shutout innings, as the Diamondbacks swept the Cubs and leapfrogged them in the wild card race. Jarvis, who was called up Sunday, can provide length should the club need a starter over the final 11 games.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Back in big leagues

    Jarvis was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Jarvis has a 2.81 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 7:8 K:BB across 16 innings this season, so it's not a major surprise he'll receive another look in the big-league bullpen. Scott McGough (shoulder) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Optioned to Triple-A

    Arizona optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

    Jarvis threw 28 pitches over two scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's series finale against the Rockies and wasn't going to be available for a bit. Ryne Nelson has been called up in a corresponding roster move to start Thursday's series opener versus the Cubs.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: To be optioned

    The Diamondbacks will option Jarvis to Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Ryne Nelson is set to come up from the minors to start Thursday, so Jarvis will be pushed off the active roster to free up a spot. Jarvis has posted a solid 3.21 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 14 innings in the majors this season, so there's a chance he returns to Arizona's bullpen before the end of the year.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Works in bulk relief Saturday

    Jarvis gave up one earned run on two hits and one walk over 3.2 innings out of the bullpen en route to picking up his first big-league win in Saturday's 8-1 victory over the Padres in the second game of a doubleheader.

    Jarvis pitched behind opener Scott McGough, who tossed 2.1 scoreless innings before turning the game over to the rookie. Though Jarvis has now turned given up just two earned runs over 6.2 innings through his first two appearances with Arizona, he may end up serving as more of a pure reliever going forward rather than a primary pitcher. Arizona is expected to get some reinforcement to its rotation later this week, when Zach Davies (back) will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Makes MLB debut

    Jarvis allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out three over three innings in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Rockies.

    Jarvis made his MLB debut after being summoned from Triple-A Reno on Sunday. He was given the bulk-inning role and threw 51 pitches in what was a bullpen effort Tuesday. The right-hander was a starter in the minors but transitioned to relief at Reno in preparation for a bullpen role for the Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks are down a starter, so Jarvis could continue in a similar bulk-inning role for now. Zach Davies (back) was roughed up in his second rehab start Tuesday but did get up to 80 pitches. If the Diamondbacks hold him back for another rehab start or opt to remove him from the rotation, Jarvis could see bulk innings this coming Sunday.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Will pitch relief

    Jarvis will pitch out of the bullpen in the majors, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Jarvis has been a starter throughout his minor-league career but was recently moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Reno in preparation for a relief role in the majors, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. The Diamondbacks are short on starting options right now and could use Jarvis for multiple innings in a variety of roles until the rotation is sorted out. General manager Mike Hazen said that he's comfortable asking Jarvis to throw between 40 and 60 pitches in an outing. The first step toward normalizing the rotation is a healthy Zach Davies (back). Davies is scheduled to make a second rehab start Tuesday and could return Sunday.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Gets first call to majors

    Jarvis' contract was purchased from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

    Jarvis hasn't worked as a starter at Triple-A since July 23, so he has presumably been preparing for a multi-inning relief role in the big leagues. Since exiting the Triple-A rotation, Jarvis has a 10:8 K:BB in 8.2 innings, so he probably won't be trusted in high-leverage situations.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Makes Cactus League start

    Jarvis allowed three runs on five hits while striking out five over 4.2 innings in Monday's spring start against the White Sox.

    Jarvis was smooth through three scoreless innings before ceding a three-run home run on a 1-0 changeup to Hanser Alberto in the fourth. This was his third appearance and first as a starter in Cactus League competition. The 2020 first-round draft pick compiled an 8.27 ERA with 27 homers allowed over 106.2 innings at Double-A Amarillo last season, which prompted him to make adjustments to his delivery during the offseason.

  • Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Making adjustments

    Jarvis made adjustments to his delivery during the offseason, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

    Specifically, Jarvis is getting more extension on his fastball, which averaged 5.2 feet of extension last season, one of the lowest marks in organized baseball (average is 6.3 feet). That means his fastball has farther to travel to home plate than that of the average pitcher, giving hitters more time to react. He possesses a 95 mph heater, but it was hit hard in 2022, and the right-hander believes it was due to his short extension. He reached 5.8 feet last week and has reached 6.1 to 6.3 feet of range in mound sessions this spring. Jarvis is also working on better pitch deception so that hitters have less time to adjust to what he's throwing. The first-round pick in 2020 posted an 8.27 ERA and gave up 27 home runs (2.3 HR/9) over 25 starts (106.2 IP) at Double-A Amarillo in 2022. The results this spring are encouraging, as Jarvis has allowed one run on four hits while striking out three batters over four innings.
