Receives encouraging news Giles was diagnosed with a mild strain of the flexor mass in his right forearm Friday, and the Blue Jays are optimistic he'll be able to pitch again soon, Arden Zwelling of Sportsn...

Impact "Soon" is a relative term here, as Giles won't throw for at least two weeks after undergoing a PRP injection Thursday. Still, there appears to be a strong chance that Giles will pitch again this season, barring setbacks, something that didn't appear to be clear when he first landed on the injured list Monday. Anthony Bass has stepped into the closer role in his absence.

Toronto closer Giles to IL; Bichette scratched for leg issue

Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles has been put on the 10-day injured list with a strained right forearm

JULY 27, 2020 • Associated Press

Nails down first save Bass gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his first save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Impact The right-hander is the Jays' closer for now after Ken Giles (elbow) landed on the IL, and Bass had little difficulty converting his first chance. He has yet to give up a run over three appearances and 3.1 innings to begin 2020, but his 2:0 K:BB is an accurate reflection of his lack of dominance. Still, as long as he doesn't implode, he should see the bulk of the work in the ninth inning for Toronto until Giles is healthy.

Diagnosed with forearm strain Giles was diagnosed with a forearm strain Monday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Giles' MRI results have not yet been released, so a clearer picture of his return timeline is not yet available. He was initially diagnosed with elbow soreness upon leaving Sunday's game against the Rays. Anthony Bass is expected to be the top option for saves while he remains sidelined.

Filling in as closer Bass will be the Blue Jays' closer in the absence of Ken Giles (elbow), Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Just how long Bass will hold the role remains to be seen, as the results of Giles' MRI are not yet known. Bass saved five games for the Mariners last season but is hardly a prototypical closer, as his decent 3.56 ERA in 48 innings came with a modest 22.8 percent strikeout rate.

Heading to injured list Giles is still awaiting the results of his elbow MRI but will head to the injured list Monday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Giles left his appearance Sunday against the Rays with what was originally called elbow soreness. While his exact return timeline remains unclear, the act that he's already been placed on the injured list even before his MRI results are available certainly doesn't seem to be a good sign. Anthony Bass will be the closer in his absence.

Slated to undergo MRI Giles (elbow) will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Giles wasn't complaining about an injury during his appearance Sunday, but he displayed decreased velocity before he exited with what the team diagnosed as right elbow soreness for now. However, his MRI should provide more clarity regarding the injury. The 29-year-old missed several weeks last season with elbow issues, but manager Charlie Montoyo was unsure whether the injury is related to his past issues. Anthony Bass appears to be the favorite to take over in the ninth inning if Giles misses additional time.
