Raisel Iglesias To Throw Live Batting Practice Monday
2 years agoAtlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) will take his next step when he throws live batting practice on Monday. The veteran closer will likely need to make a couple of minor-league rehab appearances before he is cleared to return from the injured list. Iglesias was shut down for a few weeks after developing right shoulder discomfort in the final week of spring training. Barring setbacks, the 33-year-old right-hander could rejoin Atlanta's bullpen by this weekend. Fantasy managers should have stashed him this entire time as the Braves' primary closing option when healthy. With Iglesias hurt, left-hander A.J. Minter has operated as the team's primary closer early in the season.
