The Atlanta Braves activated right-hander Raisel Iglesias from the injured list Tuesday and designated right-hander Carlos Carrasco for assignment.

Iglesias, 36, last pitched on April 19 and has been out with right shoulder inflammation.

In eight relief outings this season, Iglesias has five saves and has not allowed a run over 8 2/3 innings. In 12 career seasons, he is 42-55 with a 2.86 ERA and 258 saves over 608 appearances (21 starts) for the Cincinnati Reds (2015-20), Los Angeles Angels (2021-22) and Braves.

Carrasco, 39, was designated for assignment for the second time by the Braves this season and the third time since August. In two outings (2 1/3 innings) this season he has not allowed a run.

A veteran of 17 major league seasons, Carrasco is 112-105 with a 4.22 ERA in 337 appearances (286 starts) for the Cleveland Indians/Guardians (2009-20, 2024), New York Mets (2021-23), New York Yankees (2025) and Braves.

The Braves also sent left-hander Dylan Dodd (back) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Gwinnett, while shortstop Ha-Seong Kim (finger) had his rehab assignment transferred from Double-A Columbus to Triple-A Gwinnett.
