Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias has been deemed unavailable for tonight's game against the San Francisco Giants, leading to uncertainty regarding his future role. Despite previously being reliable, Iglesias's recent struggles, including a high ERA and reduced strikeout rate, have prompted manager Brian Snitker to consider alternate options. The club has activated veteran Craig Kimbrel for varied usage, and with injuries impacting the bullpen, the Braves may utilize a mix-and-match approach with remaining relievers Dylan Lee and Pierce Johnson.
Iglesias's reliability as a closer is in question after a disappointing season, which has led to uncertainty in how the Braves will approach their late-game pitching.
With the uncertain roles of Iglesias and emerging options like Kimbrel, the Braves' bullpen could see varied strategies, complicating their late-game management.
