Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles will have Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, likely causing him to miss all of 2021 and impacting the deal he will receive as a free agent this offseason. A right-hander who turned 30 on Sunday, Giles is 0-0 with a 9.82 ERA and one save in four appearances this season.

Manager Charlie Montoyo said Giles decided Monday to go ahead with the surgery. “He was a great clubhouse leader. He was awesome. I love the guy,? Montoyo said. “When he was on the mound, when he was healthy, he was one of the best relievers in baseball.” Giles earned $3,555,556 as a prorated share of his $9.6 million salary this season.

Tue Feb 4 202015:45Click seeks quick success with Astros after replacing Luhnow
HOUSTON (AP) — James Click knows Houston's sign-stealing scandal has tarnished the franchise's reputation. Instead of looking back at the turmoil, the new general manager hopes he can help the Astros make a fresh start. “We're focused on the future," he said. “Obviously, there's been some things in the past that may have, have not gone the way that the Astros organization wanted it to. I wasn't here for that. I'm trying to bring a fresh look." Click was introduced on Tuesday, joining a scandal-plagued team that scrambled to fill two major roles just before the start of spring training. Click took over for Jeff Luhnow, suspended for a season by Major League Baseball and then fired. The Astros last week hired 70-year-old Dusty Baker to take over for AJ Hinch as manager. The 42-year-old Click spent the last three seasons as the Tampa Bay Rays' vice president of baseball operations. Click had been with Tampa Bay for the last 14 seasons.Astros owner Jim Crane lauded the combined experience of... [More]
