However, Raisel Iglesias could not close things out with a three-run lead, ending in an eventual loss. While his 3.60 ERA and 10.20 K/9 rate look solid overall, Morton has been inconsistent at times throughout the season. He will have the opportunity to ...

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Raisel Iglesias was asked to take the mound with a two-run lead versus the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. The right-hander struggled with his command on Tuesday, but was able to bounce back nicely here. Iglesias fired a perfect ninth inning to help the Braves get a 4-2 victory. 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.

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 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...

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 ...
