Iglesias (shoulder) struck out one in a perfect fourth inning during a rehab start at Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias began the regular season on the injured list due to a shoulder strain but he began a rehab assignment Thursday and has tossed two perfect frames over his two minor-league appearances. It's unclear when the right-hander will be activated from the IL, but manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Iglesias won't need to make back-to-back rehab appearances before rejoining the major-league club, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Iglesias (shoulder) struck out one over a perfect inning in his first rehab appearance with Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias threw eight of 12 pitches for strikes in what looked to be a sharp showing on paper, although his velocity was down across the board, per Baseball Savant. It's not clear how many rehab appearances Atlanta will ask Iglesias to make, but the club will get their closer back soon. Whether Iglesias will be immediately thrown back into the ninth inning remains to be seen.

Iglesias (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias got a late start to the season due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder, but he's been throwing off the mound for a while now with no issues. It's not clear how many rehab appearances he'll be asked to make, but it seems reasonable to think he'll be reinstated within a week or so. Iglesias will regain the closer job from A.J. Minter eventually, but it's possible Atlanta will ease him back into the role once activated.

Iglesias (shoulder) will throw either live batting practice or in a minor-league rehab appearance Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias was able to face live hitters for the first time Monday and is now scheduled for at least one more round of work. It's unclear how many rehab appearances Iglesias will make should he go on an assignment, but he figures to be very close to the end of his recovery process and could even return as soon as this weekend.

Iglesias (shoulder) will throw a live bullpen session before Monday's game against the Marlins, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias has been able to throw multiple bullpen sessions, but he'll finally get a chance to face hitters in a simulated environment. The next step for the right-hander would likely be a rehab assignment, and he could be operating as the closer for Atlanta by the end of April.

Iglesias (shoulder) threw another successful bullpen session Thursday, Grant McAuley of 929 The Game reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias is just about ready to advance to live batting practice sessions and appears on track to join Atlanta's bullpen just before the end of April. He developed some minor inflammation in his right shoulder at the tail end of spring training, but that thankfully seems to be in the rearview. A.J. Minter is currently holding down the closer role for the defending NL East champions.

Iglesias (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. "He says he feels great, now it's just a matter of progression," said Braves manager Brian Snitker.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias will likely need another bullpen session or two before going out on a rehab assignment. His exact timetable to return isn't clear, but at least he's started to make progress. Iglesias is working his way back from low-grade right shoulder inflammation, which he developed just before Opening Day. A.J. Minter has been serving as the team's primary closer with Iglesias out.

Iglesias (shoulder) said Monday that he has yet to resume throwing off a mound, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias has thrown on flat ground three times, including on consecutive days, and feels good. However, a timetable for him to throw a bullpen session hasn't yet been established, further pushing back his potential return date from the 15-day injured list. Iglesias is working his way back from low-grade right shoulder inflammation, which he developed just before Opening Day. A.J. Minter has been serving as the team's primary closer with Iglesias out.

Iglesias (shoulder) had yet to resume throwing as of Thursday, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Iglesias remains in rest and treatment mode two weeks after being diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation. The hope had been that he could join Atlanta's bullpen around mid-April, but now it would appear that the veteran closer might miss the entire month. A.J. Minter seems to have the strongest current hold on Atlanta's ninth-inning gig. Jesse Chavez got a save Wednesday at St. Louis, but Minter was presumably unavailable after pitching both Monday and Tuesday.

Atlanta manager Brian Snitker told reporters before Monday's game against the Cardinals that Iglesias (shoulder) has not resumed throwing, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The original plan was for Iglesias to start throwing seven days after he was diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation on March 23. That has yet to take place, and Snitker told reporters that he has been getting treatment. At this point, it seems likely Iglesias will need a rehab assignment before he's ready to return to the Atlanta bullpen.
