Atlanta Braves · Pitcher
At 36 years old, Iglesias continues to provide reliable saves and strikeout production as the Braves' closer, evidenced by his 29 saves last season and 1.37 ERA across 26 innings this year. His All-MLB Second Team credentials from 2021 underscore his track record as a premium fantasy asset in the saves category, though his win-loss record remains dependent on Atlanta's overall offensive support. The primary risk entering 2026 involves age-related durability concerns and potential volatility in ERA and WHIP given the demands of closing, but his strikeout rate remains respectable and his save opportunities should remain plentiful in Atlanta's bullpen. Fantasy managers should view Iglesias as a credible late-round save target if health permits, though pairing him with a younger closer represents prudent roster construction given his veteran status.
Raisel Iglesias Records 30th Save of Season
Atlanta Braves closer Raisel Iglesias secured his 30th save of 2026 in Friday's 5-2 victory over Philadelphia, striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning. Iglesias continues to be a reliable source of saves for fantasy owners relying on his production at the back end of Atlanta's bullpen. With 30 saves locked up, Iglesias has established himself as one of baseball's most consistent closers this season.
