Back on injured list Giles was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right flexor strain, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Giles returned from the injured list Friday and made two relief appearances since he came back. However, manager Charlie Montoyo revealed Wednesday that he was put back on the injured list with a similar injury to what he dealt with earlier in the season. The right-hander underwent an MRI, but the results aren't yet known. "I wouldn't think he's coming back this year," Montoyo said.

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.

Shut down for at least two weeks Giles (forearm) received an injection in his elbow on Thursday and will remained shut down for at least two weeks, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
Impact Giles was diagnosed with a forearm strain Monday and this update means the Jays closer will not resume throwing until middle of August at the earliest. The right-hander appeared in two games for the Jays, striking out three while allowing two earned runs in 1.2 inning of work.

Set for second opinion Giles will receive a second opinion on his strained right forearm and remains shut down for now, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.
Impact A forearm strain is sometimes the initial diagnosis for an injury which winds up requiring a very lengthy recovery time, though there's been no indication so far that this is one of those cases. His return timeline should become clear after he receives the second opinion. In the meantime, Anthony Bass should be the Blue Jays' primary ninth-inning option.

Toronto closer Giles to IL; Bichette scratched for leg issue

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.
