The Atlanta Braves are off to a hot start and look like one of the best teams in baseball. Their pitching staff has been outstanding, even with several injury concerns entering the season. Over the weekend, closer Raisel Iglesias missed a game after reportedly sleeping on his arm the wrong way.
âIglesias slept on his shoulder wrong last night. That's why he was unavailable tonight. He may be available if needed tomorrow night,â Braves beat writer Mark Bowman wrote.
By Tuesday, Iglesias was placed on the injured list due to shoulder inflammation. The Braves made roster moves to ensure their pitching staff wouldnât be overworked during this stretch.
âThe Braves placed closer Raisel Iglesias on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation this morning, per a team announcement. Lefty Dylan Dodd was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Iglesiasâ spot on the active roster,â MLB Trade Rumorsâ Steve Adams wrote.
With Iglesias sidelined due to an unusual injury, there is uncertainty surrounding how much time he will miss. As a result, the Braves could explore adding another left-handed arm to the bullpen. The St. Louis Cardinals have a potential option in JoJo Romero.

Rental pitching has come in high demand in recent years at the trade deadline. Someone like Romero could bring back a good haul,â

Romero features an aggressive arsenal from the left side and could provide a boost to Atlantaâs bullpen depth. Currently, the Braves rely on Dylan Lee and JosĂ© SuĂĄrez as their primary left-handed options. Adding Romero could pay major dividends for the bullpen.
Atlanta does not expect Iglesias to be out long, but reinforcing an already strong bullpen is never a bad idea. Romero is owed just $4.2 million this season and still has multiple years of team control remaining.
