Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Reinstated from IL

Iglesias (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Iglesias will join Atlanta ahead of their three-game series at home against the Orioles, returning to the big-league roster after opening the 2023 campaign on the 15-day IL with a right shoulder strain. He made three rehab appearances with Triple-A Gwinnett, allowing one run on two hits while striking out five over three frames. The 33-year-old was acquired by Atlanta from the Angels last August via trade and appeared in 28 games out of their bullpen, producing a stellar 0.34 ERA and 0.84 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 26.1 innings in 2022. Iglesias will be Atlanta's closer now that he's healthy, though he could be eased into the role in the coming days. Left-hander A.J. Minter has struggled to a 7.47 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with two blown saves over nine save opportunities this year in Iglesias' place.
