Atlanta Braves right-hander Raisel Iglesias got the final three outs of a 7-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday to earn his first save of the season. Iglesias worked around a walk to preserve the win over Philadelphia in what was his second save chance of the season. The veteran closer has now made three appearances for the Braves this year, posting a 3.00 ERA, 0-1 record, and three strikeouts over that span. The Braves are off to a surprisingly poor 2-8 start, which has not afforded Iglesias many save chances, but he should remain a solid closing option in fantasy moving forward.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias had a night to forget Sunday, allowing five runs in just two-thirds of an inning in a 9-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Iglesias came into the game in the ninth with the score tied but promptly allowed four hits and a walk while recording just two outs before exiting. It's been an excellent season for the veteran closer, but this comes at a very tough time for both the Braves and his fantasy managers. Still, on the whole, he has been one of the best relievers in baseball with his ERA at 1.87 and his WHIP at 0.72, even after this dismal appearance. He should be drafted as one of the first relievers off the board next season.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias threw a perfect ninth inning to preserve a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. Iglesias struck out all three batters he faced in this one, making easy work of one of the best lineups in baseball. The 34-year-old has been almost untouchable this year, going 27-for-29 in save opportunities while pitching to a microscopic 1.45 ERA and 0.62 WHIP. Iglesias hasn't allowed a run since June 16, a span of 23 IP. The veteran righty is one of the best closers in the game.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias continued his strong season by earning his 23rd save of the year in Thursday's victory against the Miami Marlins. The veteran worked a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout in between to ground outs to secure the Braves their 59th victory. Even at age 34, Iglesias continues to be one of the best closers in the league with a 1.73 ERA and 8.42 K/9. Managers should continue to be satisfied with one the best closers in the league that is on a team that continues to give him plenty of opportunities to help managers.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias nailed down the win in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over the Giants. Iglesias allowed an infield single to Matt Chapman after getting the first out, then recorded the final two outs with the last one coming via strikeout. It was the 34-year-old's 21st save of the season, tying him for fourth-most in all of baseball.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias earned Friday's save in the win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays, recording the final out of the ballgame in the ninth inning. Iglesias needed just three pitches to put this one away for the Braves on Friday, gaining his 18th save of the campaign. The 34-year-old veteran right-hander remains as reliable as any stopper in the game in 2024, compiling a 2.10 ERA and 0.90 WHIP while fanning 17 batters, walking just five, and converting 18 of his 20 save opportunities over 25 2/3 innings as Atlanta's top ninth-inning arm. Despite a career-low strikeout rate, Iglesias doesn't make a habit of lending free passes, and his microscopic 1.3% barrel rate against means his four-pitch arsenal is still as effective as ever.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias needed only nine pitches to record his 15th save of the season in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Oakland A's. Iglesias rebounded after allowing an earned run on Friday, only the third earned run he allowed in May. Though he has just 16 strikeouts in his 22 1/3 innings, Iglesias' 2.42 ERA and 0.99 WHIP assure fantasy owners that he will continue to be a reliable source of saves as the Braves look to chase down the Phillies in the National League East.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias picked up his 13th save of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Nationals. Iglesias entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two and delivered a 1-2-3 performance with two strikeouts. The 34-year-old has been pretty much what fantasy managers were expecting this season, converting all but two save opportunities with a 2.21 ERA in 20 1/3 innings pitched. His 7.08 K/9 rate is a dip from his career average, which may be due to a lack of chases and swings-and-misses. However, fantasy managers will live with that as long as Iglesias continues to anchor the end of games for one of baseball's better teams.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias finished off the division-rival New York Mets to preserve Friday's win, but he allowed one run on one hit and one walk before gaining the save in the ninth inning. Starling Marte walked before Pete Alonso singled him in later in the frame, and J.D. Martinez just missed a game-tying home run that was fouled off during the final at-bat of the game before flying out. Despite Iglesias' shaky outing, he's been one of fantasy's most bankable closers with a 2.35 ERA and 1.04 WHIP while fanning 10, walking four, and converting 10 of his 12 save opportunities over 15 1/3 innings for the Braves this season. The 34-year-old right-hander should remain a reliable option for saves for the remainder of the season.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias picked up his ninth save of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox. Iglesias came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two and shut the door with a 1-2-3 outing with a strikeout. The 34-year-old veteran has not racked up the strikeouts fantasy managers would expect but has converted all but two save opportunities with a 1.88 ERA. He should continue to serve as a higher-end fantasy option in his current role with a great offense supporting him.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias converted his seventh save of the season in Monday's 3-0 win over the Marlins. Iglesias came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by three and delivered a 1-2-3 outing with a strikeout. The 34-year-old veteran has converted all of his save opportunities with a 2.16 ERA, a 6.48 K/9 rate, and a 1.08 BB/9 rate. The strikeouts have been down, but Iglesias should continue to be a higher-end fantasy option serving as the closer on one of baseball's best teams.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias picked up his second save of the season versus the New York Mets on Tuesday. The veteran entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead, but barely survived to earn the save by allowing two runs on three hits with one strikeout. The good news is that it was the first runs he has allowed in four appearances this season and managers should be able to breathe a sigh of relief for the veteran. Iglesias is now 34 years of age, but remains a good closer on a great team. Iglesias will have shaky outings, but unless its consistent, he should remain the Braves closer. If he were to continue to struggle, Joe Jimenez and A.J. Minter would likely be the next men up.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias made his Grapefruit League debut on Friday in a game against the Baltimore Orioles. He entered in the fourth frame and had a scoreless inning of work, with his only blemish being a two-out double to infield prospect Jackson Holliday. In his first full season with the Braves in 2023, Iglesias had a career-high 33 saves in 55 2/3 regular-season innings while also registering a 2.75 ERA (3.26 FIP) and 1.19 WHIP with 15 walks and 68 strikeouts. That all came after the 34-year-old missed the first month of the season with a right-shoulder strain. He leaned more on his changeup than ever because opposing hitters started to sit on his fastball. All things considered, Iglesias has a strong floor as a top-five fantasy closer for one of the best teams in baseball.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias earned his first career postseason save in Monday's National League Division Series Game 2 5-4 win over the Phillies. Iglesias entered the game in the bottom of the ninth up by one with no outs and a runner on first. He got the first out on a flyout and ended the game on a flyout double play thanks to an incredible defensive effort by Michael Harris II. The 33-year-old has now pitched two scoreless innings this postseason but carries a career postseason 7.20 ERA in five innings pitched between 2020, 2022, and 2023.

Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias converted his 32nd save of the season on Thursday, closing out a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Iglesias pitched a perfect inning, striking out one in the process. After a rough patch in early September where he allowed six runs (three earned) in five IP and blew two saves, the fireballer has turned things around with three straight converted saves. The 33-year-old will be in a great situation on this same stacked Braves team next year and should be drafted highly among relievers.

He allowed a leadoff home run to Trea Turner to tie the game and allowed back-to-back singles before getting out of the inning with a strikeout and a groundball double play. The Braves would score in the top of the 10th and turned to Brad Hand to close out the game, so Iglesias was the pitcher of record. The 33-year-old has been a reliable fantasy option once again, going 5-4 with 29 saves, a 3.26 ERA, and an 11.05 K/9 rate.

The 33-year-old veteran has been a rock for the Braves, with 29 saves in 31 attempts this season, including 20 in a row since June 12. Even though an injury set his season back a month, he has still been an elite reliever this season. As he is locked in with the team next year, he should continue to be a top-tier closer in fantasy.
