Raisel Iglesias Expected To Return This Week
2 years agoAtlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) threw a scoreless inning with a strikeout in his latest minor-league rehab outing for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. He also appeared last Thursday and has thrown two perfect innings so far. Iglesias should come off the injured list and rejoin the Braves bullpen this week. It's not exactly clear what day it will be, but the Braves will be getting their closer back very soon. The 33-year-old right-hander hasn't pitched yet for Atlanta in 2023, but he will eventually be the team's primary closer, especially after A.J. Minter struggled to hold down the fort with Iglesias on the shelf. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Iglesias is eased into the ninth-inning role upon his return this week.
