Raisel Iglesias Could Rejoin the Bullpen on Tuesday
Atlanta Braves right-handed reliever Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) could rejoin the big-league bullpen when he's eligible to come off the 15-day injured list on Tuesday, May 5, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. Manager Walt Weiss said that Iglesias is unlikely to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before being activated next week. The 36-year-old veteran landed on the IL with right-shoulder inflammation, but he threw off a mound on Tuesday and has been feeling good. Right-hander Robert Suarez has converted both of his save opportunities since Iglesias went on the shelf, but given Iglesias' strong start before his shoulder injury, he should return to primary closing duties in Atlanta. He's still rostered in 92% of Yahoo leagues for a reason. The Cuban hurler has 258 saves in his 12-year MLB career and has yet to allow a run in 8 2/3 innings of work with five saves, 11 strikeouts, and only one walk before his shoulder injury.
