Braves lineup shifts drive immediate fantasy implications. Marcell Ozuna’s benching and Ha-Seong Kim’s potential takeover at shortstop create a volatile DH/UTIL dynamic in Atlanta, while Vidal Bruján’s spot at short offers multi-position appeal and potential runway for increased run production. Mets see Ronny Mauricio lose playing time as Baty and Vientos heat up, with Alvarez looming back from rehab; Philadelphia leans on Realmuto’s steady bat amid Castellanos’ benching.

Key fantasy signals also surface from Cubs and Reds: Ian Happ’s clean-up run steadies his value, while Miguel Andújar’s role remains situational. Xander Bogaerts’ expected IL absence for Padres shifts Jose Iglesias and lineup patterns; Nolan Gorman and Jordan Walker provide rookie upside for STL, while Francisco Alvarez and Francisco Mejía could impact Mets catching/lineup depth.
