Braves' Iglesias on IL, Suarez Steps Up

0:00On April 21st, Braves closer Razal Eglaceus just landed on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation. They were called lefty Dillon Dodd from Triple A Gwinnett to fill the spot right away. This hit a few days after Eglaceus slept funny on his shoulder and skipped a game. He bounced back to pitch one ending Sunday, but his fastball velocity dipped from 95 miles per hour to 93 lately. Eglaceus locked in a 1-year 16-million-dollar deal over the winter and started hot this season. He's kept opponent's scoreless on 5 hits, with 11 strikeouts to 1 walk in 8-2-3's innings. Last year he shook off early woes for a 1.04 ERA over 52 frames. Now Atlanta turns to Robert Suarez for 9th inning duty. The X Padres closer grabbed a 3-year 45-million-dollar packed and nailed a save Saturday. These allow just one run in 9-2-3's innings with 11k's. Manager Walt Weiss should drop more updates tonight before they face the nationals in DC
