2024 Fantasy Outlook
Had Iglesias not missed the first month of the season with a right shoulder strain, he may have challenged for the National League lead in saves. He finished with 33 (T-8th in the league), which was still an impressive total given the missed time. The Cuban native also had no trouble stepping right back into closing duties after after pitching in a setup role for Atlanta during the second-half of 2022. Performance-wise, Iglesias was consistent as ever, though his WHIP did suffer with an elevated BABIP. A pitch mix adjustment saw him throw his changeup as his primary for the first time in his career. He increased his usage of the pitch by +11.3%, which makes sense given it's his best offering besides his slider. On the flip side, Iglesias' fastball (.327 BAA) and sinker got crushed (.519 BAA) last season. If that trend continues, it will be interesting to see if the veteran closer scales back on those pitches. Iglesias is a top 5 closer option again for 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Blows first save
Iglesias blew the save Wednesday against the Marlins, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks across one inning. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
Iglesias was given two runs of cushion in the ninth but allowed three consecutive singles to open up the frame. With the bases loaded and no outs, a hard-hit ground ball by Josh Bell ricocheted off Matt Olson into Atlanta's dugout, allowing two runs to score. The outing snapped Iglesias's streak of seven straight appearances with a save and was just his second outing allowing a run in 10 appearances.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Philly reaches out
The Phillies talked with the Angels about acquiring Iglesias on Tuesday, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander re-signed with the Halos in November on a four-year, $58 million deal, so the Phillies, and any interested team, would be bringing aboard a veteran closer for multiple years. Iglesias has a 4.04 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 48:9 K:BB across 35.2 innings and is 16-for-19 in save chances this year.

Nine months after signing a 4-year pact with the Angels, Iglesias was traded to Atlanta in a surprising deadline deal that saw the veteran's role change from closer to setup man. Perhaps Los Angeles was scared off by a slight dip in velocity - Iglesias averaged 95 mph on his fastball; a 1.3 mph drop from 2021 - but the righty was still very effective and posted numbers right in line with his recent seasons. It was his fourth straight year with a strikeout rate over 30% and sixth season (of eight in his career) that he posted a sub-2.75 ERA. Iglesias was especially dominant over the final two months of 2022, which may have flown under the radar since he wasn't closing for Atlanta. In 26.1 innings (28 appearances) with the Braves, the Cuban native only gave up one run (0.34 ERA) while recording a 0.84 WHIP and 15 holds. Atlanta clearly had long-term plans for Iglesias upon acquiring him, but whether that's as a closer or setup man still remains to be seen.
