The Braves are currently three losses behind the Pirates and Athletics for the second best lottery odds, likely landing them in the top five. They are positioned to gain 4-5% extra chance at the first overall pick. The entire Braves' Opening Day rotation is on the injured list, triggered by Grant Holmes' elbow tightness. Notable trades in MLB include the Yankees acquiring Amed Rosario and the Royals trading Andrew Hoffman to the Diamondbacks. Aaron Judge has a flexor strain and will be on the injured list but has avoided a torn UCL.
The Braves are only three losses behind both the Pirates and Athletics for the second best lottery odds, making their draft position critical this season.
With Braves' Opening Day rotation now fully on the IL, Grant Holmes' elbow tightness adds to the team's injury woes.
Next year's MLB draft is expected to hold a ton of high-end talent, making the Braves' potential positioning in the top five lottery odds significant.
Aaron Judge being placed on the IL with a flexor strain is worrying, but he avoided a torn UCL, mitigating the severity of the injury.
