"Iglesias re-signed with Atlanta on a one-year, $16MM deal over the offseason. He's gotten out to another strong start, holding opponents scoreless on just five hits with an 11-to-1 K/BB ratio in his first 8 2/3 frames."
"With Iglesias shelved, Atlanta will almost certainly turn to fellow free-agent addition Robert Suarez in the ninth inning. The former Padres closer, who inked a three-year, $45MM contract this offseason, picked up the save Saturday when Iglesias was unavailable."
Raisel Iglesias has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation. He was previously unavailable after sleeping on his shoulder wrong. Iglesias pitched an inning recently but will now miss at least two weeks. His performance had been strong, with a 1.04 ERA since mid-June last year. Robert Suarez is expected to take over closing duties in Iglesias' absence, having performed well as the primary setup man this season.
