Atlanta Braves sweep Nationals in a four‑game set, preserving a solid position in the draft lottery landscape while eyeing a rest-of-season run. A potential NL Rookie of the Year windfall from Drake Baldwin could dwarf any lottery wavering, and Hurston Waldrep’s bounce-back start reinforces his mid-rotation upside as Brandon Gaudin’s broadcast presence cements the Braves’ top‑tier TV experience.

On the MLB front, Quintana lands on the 15‑day IL for Milwaukee, Willson Contreras is shut down for the season in St. Louis, and Cole Wilcox earns a Rays bullpen opportunity, signaling late‑season value shifts across the league that fantasy managers will want to monitor alongside Braves’ development headlines.
