Giles secured the save Saturday against the Red Sox despite giving up a run on one hit and one walk. He recorded three strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

Giles issued a walk to Mookie Betts, who stole second base and subsequently scored on Xander Bogaerts' two-out, ground-rule double. Giles then struck out J.D. Martinez on five pitches with the tying run on second base to end the game. The run breaks a string of 17 straight scoreless outings for the right-hander, and he now has a 1.33 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 47:8 K:BB while converting 12 of 13 save chances.

Giles (elbow) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giles faced hitters earlier in the week and experienced no issues, clearing the way for him to return after a minimum stay on the injured list with elbow inflammation. The 28-year-old, who compiled a 1.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 42:7 K:BB and 11 saves in 25 innings prior to landing on the shelf, should immediately reclaim his role as Toronto's closer, pushing Joe Biagini, Daniel Hudson and Tim Mayza back to setup roles. Justin Shafer was optioned to the minors in a corresponding move.

Giles (elbow) threw 22 pitches to hitters Wednesday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giles is eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Friday. Assuming his elbow feels good Thursday, he's expected to do so.

Manager Charlie Montoyo said Monday that Giles (elbow) has resumed playing catch and isn't expected to spend longer than the 10-day minimum on the injured list, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giles hasn't pitched for the Blue Jays since June 5, but because he wasn't placed on the IL until a week later, his stint is effective June 11. That means he won't be eligible for reinstatement until Friday, so if Montoyo's prediction holds true, Giles should be activated ahead of the Blue Jays' weekend series in Boston. Due to the brevity of his stay on the IL, Giles will likely be immediately reinstalled as Toronto's closer.

Giles was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Giles hadn't been showing any effects of the injury of late, striking out 10 batters over 4.1 scoreless innings in his last four appearances. He does not expect to miss more than the minimum 10 days, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. Joe Biagini and Tim Mayza are the top candidates for save chances while Giles remains unavailable. Jordan Romano's contract was purchased in a corresponding move.

Giles is not listed on the lineup card prior to Wednesday's game against the Orioles, indicating that he's likely been placed on the 10-day injured list with an undisclosed injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear exactly what Giles is dealing with. He had a sore wrist late in May, though he seemed to be over the issue. Joe Biagini and/or Tim Mayza could get save chances while Giles is unavailable. Jordan Romano has been called up in a corresponding move.

Giles recorded a four-out save with three strikeouts and two walks during a 4-3 victory against the Yankees on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays tried to get 29-year-old Joe Biagini through a second inning in the eighth Tuesday night. After giving up a homer to begin the eighth, Biagini recorded the next two outs, but then another single forced the Blue Jays to turn to Giles. The Toronto closer walked his first hitter and then let two Yankees reach in the ninth, but he pitched out of trouble both times to nail down the save. Giles is 11-for-12 in save chances with a 1.13 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 24 innings this season.

Giles (wrist) tossed a scoreless inning in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Red Sox. He surrendered a base hit and recorded a strikeout in the 16-pitch appearance.

EDGE Analysis

Giles wasn't available for the series opener Monday due to a sore right wrist, but the Jays' willingness to use him in the 10th inning of a tied ballgame Wednesday implies that his health is no longer a concern. With a 1.31 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 32:5 K:BB in 20.2 innings, Giles has performed about as well as his backers could have hoped, but the 20-30 Jays' losing ways have presented him with just 11 save chances.

Giles wasn't available for Monday's 12-2 loss to the Red Sox due to a sore right wrist, Alexis Brudnicki of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Giles' wrist was hurting after he took a fall at some point during the Blue Jays' victory over the White Sox on Sunday, when he notched a four-out save. The lopsided nature of the Victoria Day matinee game suggests Giles wouldn't have been used regardless of his health, but his status remains uncertain heading into Tuesday's game. Should a save situation arise, Joe Biagini would likely rank as the top ninth-inning option if Giles requires another day off.

Giles allowed two hits and struck out three batters in 1.1 scoreless innings against the White Sox on Sunday to earn his 10th save.

EDGE Analysis

Giles was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the eighth inning and immediately allowed an inherited runner to score on a Jose Abreu double but settled down to close out the win. The save was Giles' first since May 10, also against the White Sox. He is now 10-for-11 in save opportunities this season and holds a sparkling 1.37 ERA and 1.02 WHIP along with a 31:5 K:BB ratio.
