The Braves closer should be joined by catcher Sean Murphy in returning from injury while the team is in Seattle.

The Atlanta Braves are set to receive a major boost to their bullpen as closer Raisel Iglesias is expected to be activated from the 15-day Injured List on Tuesday when the team travels to Seattle to face the Mariners. Manager Walt Weiss confirmed the news after Sunday's victory over the Colorado Rockies, signaling a timely return for a pitcher who has been lights-out this season.

Iglesias has been nothing short of dominant in 2025, posting a perfect 0.00 ERA over 8.2 innings across eight appearances. He has struck out 11 batters and saved five games, still leading the team in that category. His return couldn't come at a better time for an Atlanta bullpen that has faced significant turnover over the past two weeks.

The Braves, who improved to an impressive 25-10 after sweeping the Rockies, may also see the return of catcher Sean Murphy during the Seattle series, though the exact activation date remains uncertain. Murphy's comeback adds a layer of intrigue to roster decisions, especially with outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. landing on the 10-day IL due to a hamstring injury and fellow outfielder Michael Harris II dealing with a quad issue. There's a possibility Harris could also head to the IL, which would free up a roster spot for Murphy.

With Iglesias back anchoring the ninth inning and Murphy's return on the horizon, the Braves are positioning themselves for a strong stretch as they continue to build on their early-season success. For fans looking to gear up for the action, now is the perfect time to stock up on Braves apparel and celebrate a team hitting its stride.
