Raisel Iglesias Fires Perfect Ninth Inning
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias was asked to take the mound with a two-run lead versus the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.

He needed only six pitches to notch his sixth save of the season. Iglesias hasn't allowed a run in seven straight appearances, so it appears he is settling down nicely.

Closers Atlanta Braves Raisel IglesiasRaisel Iglesias Notches Fourth Save
Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Raisel Iglesias locked down his fourth save of the season on Thursday, helping the Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 8-5. Iglesias didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one in his inning of work. He has now worked five scoreless outings in a row, allowing just a hit and a walk while striking out six in those appearances. He should get a ton of save opportunities with the Braves and appears to be locked in, giving him a chance to be one of the best closers in fantasy this season.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias tossed a perfect ninth inning to secure a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Iglesias didn't allow a baserunner and struck out two. He now holds a 5.68 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with eight strikeouts in 6 IP. After a couple of subpar performances earlier in the month, Iglesias hasn't allowed a baserunner in his past three outings. He appears to be rounding into form, which is good news for both fantasy managers and the Braves, who have struggled to get good closing performances this season. Iglesias should see the bulk of the save opportunities in Atlanta.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias missed the beginning of the season due to injury. He made his season debut last week, so it could take him some time to get back into a groove. On Sunday, Iglesias took his first blown save of the save as he coughed up two runs to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ninth inning. The right-hander saw his velocity dip during this contest, which could be something to monitor. The Braves do have other options in the ninth inning such as A.J. Minter or Nick Anderson. It remains to be seen if the Braves will lean on one of them if Iglesias continues to struggle.

Atlanta Braves reliever Raisel Iglesias worked a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday en route to his first save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Iglesias, who was just activated from the injured list on Friday and was making his season debut, fanned two and induced a groundout to end the ball game. There was some thought that he would be eased back into a high-leverage role but the Braves wasted no time and gave him a save opportunity the first chance they got. It's worth noting that A.J. Minter pitched the top of the eighth inning with Atlanta losing 4-3. Iglesias will be the closer in Atlanta moving forward.
