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.

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>
