Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Hoping for minimum IL stay
Manager Brian Snitker indicated Thursday he hopes Iglesias (shoulder) will only require the minimum 15 days on the injured list, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Iglesias was diagnosed with low-grade right shoulder inflammation after feeling off while playing catch Wednesday. He will be shut down for the next week before hopefully ramping things back up. "To get him right, we shut him down, will build him back and hopefully can get him sooner than later," Snitker said. A.J. Minter is the favorite to close games for Atlanta while Iglesias is out.

Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Bound for IL with sore shoulder
Iglesias will begin the season on the injured list after he was diagnosed with low-grade inflammation in his right shoulder Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
It seems relatively minor as far as shoulder injuries go, but Iglesias will be shut down from throwing for at least seven days in hopes that the soreness clears up. That would seem to indicate Iglesias could be sidelined for several weeks, though his return timeline at this point remains unclear. A.J. Minter and Joe Jimenez are candidates to fill Atlanta's closer role while Iglesias is on the shelf.

Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Shaky over first half of spring
Iglesias has given up four runs in four innings of work in the Grapefruit League for Atlanta.
Iglesias has allowed four hits while registering a 3:1 K:BB. While those numbers are far from awe-inspiring, the sample is small, and it's nice to see the right-hander still missing bats. After serving as a bridge to Kenley Jansen following last season's trade to Atlanta from the Angels, Iglesias will be the closer in 2023, and he has a chance to be one of the best fantasy options at the position this year.
