The Braves placed closer Raisel Iglesias on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation, recalled Dylan Dodd to take his spot, and likely will turn to Robert Suarez for ninth-inning duties.

The San Diego Padres are leaning towards retaining reliever Robert Suarez despite recent acquisitions and are still considering trading starter Dylan Cease, who is a free agent this winter.

San Diego Padres pitcher Robert Suárez has been suspended for 10 games by Major League Baseball for using banned sticky substances. Suárez was ejected from a game after having sticky stuff on his left wrist and arm, although he denied using any banned substances and claimed it was sunscreen. He has appealed the suspension, and any punishment will be delayed until the appeal is resolved. Suárez is the sixth pitcher to be penalized for using sticky stuff since MLB began cracking down on foreign substances in 2021.
The San Diego Padres achieved a 5-5 record on their 10-game homestand, taking a step in the right direction with a series win over the Miami Marlins.

The victory keeps their faint postseason hopes alive, as they remain 5.5 games out of the final playoff spot in the National League. The Padres face a challenging road ahead, needing to make up ground and win series in their remaining 34 games.
