Braves Place Closer Raisel Iglesias on 15-Day IL with Shoulder Inflammation
Robert Suarez, who led the National League with 36 saves last season, will close for Atlanta while Iglesias is sidelined.
- The Atlanta Braves placed closer Raisel Iglesias on the 15-day injured list Tuesday due to right shoulder inflammation stemming from sleeping on it wrong Friday night.
- Iglesias' fastball velocity dipped to 92.9 mph during his most recent appearance against the Philadelphia Phillies, down from his 94.1 mph average, signaling physical strain.
- Manager Walt Weiss expressed optimism, stating the MRI 'didn't show anything structurally' and that he does not expect a long absence for the 36-year-old closer.
- Robert Suarez will assume closer duties while Iglesias recovers; Suarez has allowed just one run over nine innings this season as a setup man.
- The Braves recalled left-hander Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill the open roster spot created by Iglesias' placement on the injured list.
