Stuck with blown save Sunday Iglesias took a blown save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles in extra innings. He gave up an unearned run while logging a walk and a strikeout in the ninth inning.

Impact While an Ozzie Albies error allowed Baltimore to ultimately tie the game Sunday, Iglesias was still tagged with his second blown save in his last eight appearances -- he had converted his first 17 save chances of the season. Iglesias has given up seven runs (six earned) in his last 8.2 innings, though he still sports an excellent 2.43 ERA overall with a 1.08 WHIP and 43 strikeouts through 37 innings this year.

Hangs on for 21st save Iglesias earned the save in Thursday's 6-5 win over San Diego, working around two hits while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Iglesias found himself in some trouble in the ninth after the Padres logged back-to-back singles. However, the right-hander would strike out Luis Rengifo to end the game, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs on base. It's a nice bounce-back outing from Iglesias, who'd given up a home run in each of his previous two appearances. He's up to 21 saves this season while posting a 2.50 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 42:7 K:BB across 36 innings.

Escapes with save No. 20 Iglesias secured the save Wednesday against San Diego, allowing one run on one hit and no walks in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.

Impact Atlanta summoned Victor Mederson to record the final three outs of a 7-1 game, but he coughed up four runs to create a save situation in the ninth inning. Iglesias was shaky himself, serving up a solo home run to Luis Rengifo, but he held on to put out the fire. Although he's blown just one save and sports a 2.57 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB with 20 saves over 35 innings in 2026, the right-hander has given up 10 runs across his last 19.1 frames after opening the year with a scoreless streak of 15.2 innings.

He's at a 2.23 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB through 32.1 innings while converting 19 of 20 save chances this season.

Blows first save of 2026 Iglesias blew the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets. He allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.

Monday marked Iglesias' first blown save of the season after he entered the contest a perfect 17-for-17 in save opportunities. The right-hander now owns a 2.37 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB across 30.1 innings in 2026.

Earns 17th save Iglesias earned the save in Atlanta's 5-3 win over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits and no walks with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

Impact Iglesias entered the ninth inning with a three-run lead and closed things out despite allowing three singles. The veteran closer remains a perfect 17-for-17 in save opportunities this season despite allowing an earned run in three of his past eight outings. He owns a 1.53 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 32:6 K:BB across 29.1 innings this year and will be heavily leaned on with Robert Suarez (elbow) on the injured list.

Bounces back for 16th save Iglesias pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.

Impact Iglesias has run into some struggles lately, allowing four runs (two earned) over his last 5.2 innings. He took two losses in that span five-game span. Friday's outing was the first time in eight appearances in May where he didn't allow a hit. Iglesias is still a perfect 16-for-16 in save chances while pitching to a 1.37 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings this season. While there are some warning signs, Iglesias doesn't appear to be at risk of losing the closing job any time soon, especially while Robert Suarez (elbow inflammation) is on the injured list.

Stuck with loss in 10th Tuesday Iglesias (0-2) took the loss Tuesday as Atlanta fell 7-6 to the Padres, giving up an unearned run on two hits in the 10th inning. He struck out one.

Impact The veteran closer was brought in to keep the game tied in the ninth inning and got the job done, but Iglesias couldn't prevent the phantom runner from scoring in the bottom of the 10th as Manny Machado lined a single up the middle on the first pitch he saw in the frame to bring home Jackson Merrill. Iglesias has been tagged for runs in three of his last four appearances, and over his last nine outings he's stumbled to a 3.72 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10:3 K:BB in 9.2 innings. He has yet to blow a save this season, going 15-for-15, but the 36-year-old right-hander seems to be wearing down, and it will be tougher for manager Walt Weiss to find opportunities to give Iglesias some rest with Robert Suarez (forearm) not 100 percent right now.

Hangs on for 15th save Iglesias earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

Impact Iglesias was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth but ran into trouble, allowing an RBI single to Brice Turang that could have been more damaging had Jackson Chourio not been thrown out at home. Iglesias then rebounded with a three-pitch strikeout to remain a perfect 15-for-15 in save chances this season. Despite allowing a run in two of his past three outings, the 36-year-old owns a stellar 1.48 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB across 24.1 innings.
