Raisel Iglesias saves wild win over Padres

Raisel Iglesias

ATL Relief Pitcher #26

Player Stats

Raisel Iglesias let up one hit and one run with two strikeouts in 2/3 of an inning to secure the save against the Padres on Wednesday.

When this game was tied 1-1 entering the ninth inning, it seemed likely that Iglesias would find his way into it. Then, the Braves rallied for six runs in the top of the ninth and he got to relax. Then, Victor Meders let the Padres right back into it with three quick runs and Iglesias was called upon to save it. He gave up a home run to Luis Rengifo, but managed to end this game by striking out Manny Machado and Ty France to preserve the one run lead. That made Iglesias the ninth pitcher this season to record 20 saves and he has a 2.57 ERA to boot.

Raisel Iglesias slammed the door on the Phillies on Sunday afternoon, working a scoreless ninth inning to protect a one-run advantage.

Iglesias came on after the Braves stormed back to take the lead in the top half of the ninth inning. He allowed a leadoff single to Bryson Stott who advanced to second on a ground out and to third on a passed ball with only one out, but the Phillies couldn’t cash him in. The 36-year-old stopper now holds a 2.72 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 55/16 K/BB ratio over 53 innings on the season while converting 31 of his 34 save chances.

Raisel Iglesias struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save against the Phillies on Friday.

Iglesias made quick work of the Phillies in this save needing just 12 pitches to get through the ninth inning while striking out two batters. He’s now secured six consecutive saves and had six straight scoreless outings after a bit of a rocky stretch early last month.

Raisel Iglesias pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his 29th save of the season on Friday against the Rockies.

Iglesias allowed a leadoff single to Hunter Goodman to begin the frame, but would force T.J. Rumfield to ground into a double play in the next at-bat and got Willi Castro to line out to end the game. It was the 29th save of the season for Iglesias, who has converted on six of his seven save opportunities on the month.

Working around a leadoff triple with a one-run lead, Raisel Iglesias tossed a scoreless ninth for his 28th save Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Shohei Ohtani hit the triple to the wall in left. It would have been a homer in 28 ballparks, according to Statcast. In Atlanta, it could have been an out, but Lane Thomas had it go off his glove while attempting a jumping catch. It proved no problem for Iglesias. He struck out Freddie Freeman, got Mookie Betts to ground out and, after an intentional walk of Max Muncy, got Tommy Edman to fly out to center to end the game.

Raisel Iglesias got a four-out save Sunday versus the Brewers.

Pitching with a two-run lead, Iglesias walked Brice Turang to start the ninth and then gave up a long fly to William Contreras that Michael Harris II made a jumping catch on at the wall. According to Statcast, it would have been a homer in seven ballparks. After that, Iglesias got a comebacker from Jake Bauers that turned into a game-ending double play, even though he made a bad throw to second to start it off. It’s Iglesias’ 27th save of the season and No. 280 for his career.

Raisel Iglesias fanned two in a perfect ninth for a save Thursday against the White Sox.

It’s been a tough month for Iglesias, but he had no issues today. He’s 26-for-29 in his save chances this season.

Raisel Iglesias allowed one run on one hit and one walk but hung on for his 25th save on Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Iglesias needed 21 pitches to complete the ninth. He hasn’t been nearly as sharp since the All-Star break. Overall, he’s had a bounce-back campaign, but there was a belief entering 2026 that Robert Suárez could push Iglesias for saves if he struggled. Suárez is sidelined, so Didier Fuentes could see additional save opportunities if the team makes a change. There are no signs of that happening just yet.

Raisel Iglesias allowed two hits, one walk, and one run in the ninth inning on Wednesday against the Mets.

Two nights in a row the Braves entered the ninth inning with a four-run lead over the months and both times they turned to Iglesias. Sure, it’s better to be safe than sorry and they have an off-day tomorrow. Yet, this was now the third time in five outings where Iglesias has let at least one run score. He’s not even close to being in jeopardy of losing this job, but he may no longer be the best reliever in his own bullpen given Didier Fuentes’ emergence.

Raisel Iglesias fired a scoreless ninth inning against the Mets on Tuesday.

It was a non-save situation, but Iglesias still helps fantasy managers by lowering his ERA to 2.89. The right-hander has had some scuffles as of late, so seeing him take care of business is a nice confidence booster, as well, whether it was necessary or not.

Raisel Iglesias picked up the win in Sunday’s 2-1 victory over the Yankees.

Iglesias struck out two in a scoreless ninth, needing just 10 pitches. Didier Fuentes couldn’t hold a 1-0 lead in the eighth, but Atlanta still went to its closer in a tie game. The Braves went ahead in the tenth, and Tyler Kinley converted the save in the bottom half. Iglesias hadn’t been as sharp in his previous two outings, but he’s had a strong season overall. He remains the locked-in closer in a deep bullpen.

Shohei Ohtani said after Monday’s game that he intends to focus on hitting for now.

Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts against the Reds after missing four games to rest his knee and biceps injuries. A return to the mound this year hasn’t been completely ruled out, but Ohtani isn’t pursuing it at the moment in order to give him his best chance of succeeding offensively. It’s safe to assume he’ll be a hitter-only until the postseason, and it’s probably not going to be worth the risk for him to try to contribute in short mound stints in October.

Rafael Devers doubled twice and walked twice Monday as the Giants beat the Cardinals 6-5 in 10 innings.

Devers’ first double, which plated a run in the first, was a 406-foot shot to right-center that would have been a homer in 29 ballparks, but not at Oracle Park. He has 36 doubles this season. It’s his highest total since 2022, but he’s not approaching his career high of 54 from 2019.

Coming off possibly the worst outing of his career, Logan Webb held the Cardinals to one run and three hits over six innings Monday.

Webb matched his season high with eight strikeouts, racking up 19 whiffs on 45 swings. He departed with a 3-1 lead, but it didn’t hold up, leaving him with a no-decision. He can’t really complain, though, given that he avoided a loss after allowing nine runs in two-plus innings last time out against the Pirates. Webb should make his next start Sunday against the Padres.

Dylan Smith took his fourth blown save after allowing one run in 1 2/3 innings Monday against the Cardinals.

The Giants were hoping for a two-inning save from Smith in a 3-2 game, but they didn’t get it, mostly because of poor infield play. Joshua Báez led off the ninth with a routine grounder to short, but Christian Koss slipped and made a weak throw, resulting in a single. Thomas Saggese then hit a grounder up the middle that a diving Osleivis Basabe got a glove on but couldn’t corral. The Cardinals went on to tie the game on a walk and a sac fly, but Smith probably won’t be hurt by the result, especially after the Giants went on to win in extras.

Michael McGreevy turned in a quality start versus the Giants on Monday, allowing three runs — two earned — in 6 2/3 innings.

McGreevy allowed six hits, walked two and struck out four in his 15th quality start this season. It went as his 13th no-decision to go along with a 6-9 record and a 3.92 ERA. He’s in line to face the White Sox on Sunday.

Riley O’Brien was charged with his seventh blown save after allowing only the automatic runner to score in the bottom of the 10th Monday against the Giants.

Working with a one-run lead, O’Brien intentionally walked Rafael Devers to start the inning and then gave up a game-tying single to Bryce Eldridge afterwards. He ended up preventing further damage, though. After a sac bunt and another intentional walk to load the bases, Drew Gilbert barely tapped a ball in front of home plate. It would have rolled foul, but Leo Bernal did a great job pouncing on it, touching home and then throwing to first for the double play. This blown save shouldn’t hurt O’Brien’s standing at all.

Trey Yesavage (knee) is scheduled to face hitters in a simulated game on Thursday.

Yesavage, who threw a 34-pitch bullpen session in Florida on Monday, figures to make it back to Toronto’s pitching equation before the regular season concludes, but he’s at least a few steps away based on his throwing progression. The 23-year-old starter underwent left knee meniscus surgery back in early August. It sounds like he’s going to need at least one minor league rehab start next week before he’s an option for the Blue Jays again.
