Infielder Christian Cairo spent 2025 spring training with the Atlanta Braves. When he didn't make the Braves roster for Opening Day, Atlanta's MLB Rule 5 draft selection returned to the Cleveland Guardians.
But that wasn't the end of Atlanta seeing a member of the Cairos this year.
MLB insider Jon Morosi reported Monday the Washington Nationals named Cairo's father, Miguel, interim manager.

When the Braves met the Nationals for five games in May, Cairo was the team's bench coach. He joined Washington's MLB coaching staff in November 2023.
