As the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-michael-harris-exits-marlins-apparent-injury" rel="noopener">Braves look to continue</a> their winning ways, Atlanta made a flurry of moves that included the return of closer Raisel Iglesias.</p><p>Iglesias <a href="https://twitter.com/Braves/status/1654524865120960519" rel="noopener">has been activated</a> off of the injured list, the team has announced. Dylan Dodd was optioned to AAA in a corresponding move.</p><p>Ehire Adrianza is headed to the IL, with prospect Braden Shewmake called up to take his spot. Amidst the call ups and returns, catcher Travis d’Arnaud is poised to start a AAA rehab assignment on Tuesday.</p><p>Atlanta’s closer has been out all season as he battled shoulder inflammation. Now healthy, his return will be a major boost for the Braves. Iglesias was traded to the Braves midway through last season. In his Atlanta debut, Iglesias put up a 0.34 ERA and a 30/5 K/BB ratio over 26.1 innings.</p><p>While the Braves have been outstanding to start the year, their bullpen is certainly an area they could improve. The team’s pen is tied for 15th in the majors with a 3.80 ERA. Their .233 opponent’s batting average against ranks 17th.</p><p>Raisel Iglesias has made 406 appearances over his eight-year MLB career. He holds a 3.00 ERA with a 660/158 K/BB ratio. With 157 career saves under his belt, Iglesias will add some security to the bank end of the bullpen.</p><p>With Adrianza now hurt, Shewmake will have an opportunity to prove why he deserved to make the Opening Day roster. While Sean Murphy has been tearing it up, d’Arnaud appears to be nearing a return to action.</p><p>Of all their moves, Iglesias’ return will be the most impactful for the Braves at least immediately. They have been one of the best teams in the MLB all season. If their stars can stay healthy, the Braves’ ceiling is limitless.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the Braves have a feasible replacement for Jansen should he leave in Raisel Iglesias. But Iglesias’ presence doesn’t mean Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos won’t try and re-sign Kenley Jansen, <a href="https://twitter.com/DOBrienATL/status/1582069234208645121" rel="noopener">per The Athletic’s David O’Brien</a>.</p><p>“(Raisel) Iglesias came in and he was a great reliever that Snit (Brian Snitker) had available in the 7th or 8th,” Anthopoulos said. “Being a good bullpen is about having depth. We have Iglesias under contract. He’s a fantastic reliever with experience in all kinds of roles. But if we can get a guy like (Kenley) Jansen back, that would be phenomenal.”</p><p>The Braves value Raisel Iglesias, who was acquired via trade from the Los Angeles Angels ahead of the 2022 MLB trade deadline. However, they also understand the value of a deep bullpen. So the Braves won’t balk at the idea of bringing Kenley Jansen back into the mix.</p><p>Atlanta’s bullpen was the driving factor during their 2021 World Series run. Their offense has a number of players locked up for the foreseeable future and the same can be said for the starting rotation. The Braves <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/braves-news-atlanta-locks-up-electric-rookie-spencer-strider-to-6-year-75-million-contract/" rel="noopener">recently inked</a> potential NL Rookie of the Year winner Spencer Strider to a long term extension.</p><p>The Braves are now focused on getting their bullpen affairs in order. And according to Anthopoulos, that process will include attempting to bring Kenley Jansen back to Atlanta.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Atlanta currently finds themselves trailing the Philadelphia Phillies 2-1 in the NLDS. But according to Iglesias, the Braves are still confident.</p><p>Atlanta battled with the New York Mets for the NL East lead all season long. Braves fans felt that the Mets would end up being their most difficult NL East challenger in a potential MLB Playoff series. Instead, the Phillies have emerged while the Mets have already been eliminated.</p><p>Nevertheless, the Braves are the defending champs. They believe a comeback is not out of the question. The Braves are rolling the dice on veteran Charlie Morton in Game 4. Morton posted an ERA of over 4.30 during the season but has displayed clutch prowess in the past. His MLB Playoff experience will suit him well for this <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nlds-odds-braves-vs-phillies-game-4-prediction-odds-and-pick-10-15-2022/" rel="noopener">pivotal affair</a>.</p><p>The Braves are hopeful Morton can turn in a quality outing. Atlanta’s pitching staff has let them down through the first three games of the NLDS.</p><p>It will be interesting to see how the Braves respond after getting obliterated 9-1 in Game 3. It was an ugly performance all-around for a team that was incredibly steady heading into the MLB Playoffs. One would imagine that Atlanta is seeking revenge which will play into the motivation that Raisel Iglesias spoke of.</p><p>Game 4 projects to be a far more competitive game as the Braves look to even the series at two games apiece. First pitch is scheduled for 2:07 PM EST in Philadelphia.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They decided to part ways with three players, including closer Raisel Iglesias, as they traded him to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for starting pitcher Tucker Davidson and reliever Jesse Chavez.</p><p>Angels general manager Perry Minasian did not end up having a shortage of teams calling to inquire about acquiring the veteran closer.</p><p>As noted by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/11/angels-missed-their-best-chance-to-trade-shohei-ohtani/" rel="noopener">New York Post’s Jon Heyman</a>, Angels owner Arte Moreno “ordered a dumping of some big salaries” during last Tuesday’s trade deadline. Minasian responded by then being open to trading Iglesias, who signed off on a four-year, $58 million deal with the Angels in the offseason.</p><p>The New York Yankees and the New York Mets “pursued” Iglesias, but in the end, there were other teams that were “willing” to pay the rest of his owed salary, including $48 million over the next three years. The Angels ultimately sided with the Braves’ final offer for Iglesias, as the reigning World Series <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/mlb/atlanta-braves" rel="noopener">champions</a> agreed to cover not only the closer’s salary for the next three seasons but also his remaining due money for the 2022 campaign.</p><p>Minasian <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/angels-trade-brandon-marsh-to-phillies" rel="noopener">noted</a> after the trade deadline that offloading Iglesias’ contract will “open things up” for the team in the upcoming free agency period.</p><p>“Trading [Iglesias] opens things up because his contract was significant,” Minasian said. “And we liked what we got back. We obviously have history together. [Davidson is] left-handed with a strong arm. He wasn’t an easy piece to acquire, but it also opened things up for us financially for the future.”</p><p>At the least, the Yankees and the Mets did bolster their bullpens ahead of the trade deadline. The current AL East leaders acquired a pair of relief pitchers in Lou Trivino and Scott Effross. On the other hand, Mets general manager Billy Eppler went out to bring in relievers Mychal Givens and Phillip Diehl.</p><p>On the Angels’ part, they sure are now set to be on the lookout for a closer in the offseason. More so, a crucial free agency period sure awaits Minasian as well.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
