Raisel Iglesias Secures Save in his Return on Sunday Night
Atlanta Braves right-handed closer Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) was unavailable in a save situation in Saturday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies because he slept on his right shoulder wrong on Friday night. Iglesias was thankfully able to return in Sunday night's 4-2 win over Philly, and he secured his fifth save of the season while throwing a scoreless ninth inning with one hit allowed, one walk, and a strikeout. With Iglesias out on Saturday, right-hander Robert Suarez picked up his first save of the year in his first season with Atlanta. The 36-year-old Iglesias will need to pitch well all year to hold off Suarez for save opportunities, but right now, he's been lights-out to begin the 2026 campaign. Iglesias has yet to allow a run in his 8 2/3 innings pitched with five saves, 11 strikeouts, and just one walk in his eight relief appearances. Until further notice, fantasy managers need to continue to run him out there.
