Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Shifted to 60-day injured list
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks transferred Jarvis (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for lefty Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 60-day IL ahead of his start Tuesday in Cleveland. Jarvis landed on the IL last with a right elbow sprain, and while it's not clear whether he will need surgery, the move to the 60-day IL effectively ends his season.

Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Out with elbow sprain
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks placed Jarvis on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a sprained right elbow.
It's unclear when exactly the right-hander sustained the injury, but he last pitched Tuesday against the Nationals and allowed two hits with two strikeouts over a scoreless frame. Jarvis will be eligible to be reinstated in mid-August, but it's possible he faces a longer absence.

Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Picks up first win
Rotowire
Jarvis (1-2) picked up the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday, pitching 2.1 scoreless innings in relief while allowing one hit and two walks. He struck out one.
Jarvis relieved Cristian Mena to open the bottom of the fourth and managed to hold the Dodgers' lineup scoreless over the next 2.1 innings despite allowing a baserunner in each frame. Arizona would go on to add four runs over that stretch, helping the right-hander earn his first win of the campaign. Though Jarvis allowed two runs in his previous relief appearance June 27 against the Twins, he's actually held opposing teams scoreless in four of his last five outings.

Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Takes loss in extras
Rotowire
Jarvis (0-2) was the losing pitcher in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to Baltimore. He allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out one over one-plus innings.
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo turned to Jarvis, the team's long arm out of the bullpen, to navigate extra frames. The lefty managed to extricate himself from a bases-loaded jam in the 10th inning thanks to double-play groundout but couldn't escape the 11th. Jordan Westburg reached down for the first pitch -- a slider at the bottom of the zone -- and got the end of the bat on the ball, which landed just inside the right-field line, plating the automatic runner for the Orioles' walk-off win. It was the fifth time in the last six games that Jarvis has allowed at least a run, and he has an 8.59 ERA over that span.

Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Holds fort in win
Rotowire
Jarvis allowed one hit and one walk while striking out three over 2.2 scoreless innings in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Colorado.
Jarvis ushered the game from the sixth to eighth innings, giving the Diamondbacks a chance to tie the game and eventually take the lead. He was pulled with two outs in the eighth after giving up a double and was not around to get the win, but he played a significant role in Arizona's comeback victory. Jarvis serves as a multi-inning reliever with three of his four appearances involving at least one up-and-down. Through eight innings, he's allowed four runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out eight.

Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Logs three relief innings
Rotowire
Jarvis allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four batters over three relief innings in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Rockies.
Jarvis fulfilled his role as a multi-inning reliever, working the sixth through eighth innings. He allowed traffic in all three frames and was eventually stung for a two-run home run by Brenton Doyle during his final inning. Jarvis competed for a spot in the rotation during spring training but was bypassed in favor of Tommy Henry after Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) opened the season on the injured list. Henry was rocked Saturday before Jarvis entered the game, and that the two are currently on the same schedule could make it convenient for manager Torey Lovullo to make a change. Eventually, Rodriguez and Jordan Montgomery are expected to enter the rotation, which will obviate the need for either Jarvis or Henry as starters.

Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: Headed to bullpen
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
Arizona optioned Jarvis to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

Diamondbacks' Bryce Jarvis: To be optioned
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.
