Ken Giles signs minor league deal with the Braves

Ken Giles signed a minor league deal with the Braves with an invite to Spring Training.

Fantasy Impact

Giles has dealt with numerous injuries the past few seasons. He did not pitch last season and only made five appearances the year prior. He'll look to earn his way into the Braves bullpen.

Ken Giles signs minor-league deal with Dodgers

Ken Giles has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Fantasy Impact

Giles has thrown just eight innings since the beginning of 2020 due to various arm injuries. He threw a live bullpen session to interested teams last Friday and the Dodgers liked what they saw. He could find his way to the Dodgers at some point this season if all goes well.

Ken Giles to hold throwing session Wednesday

Free agent reliever Ken Giles is set to hold a throwing session for interested teams on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Injuries -- including Tommy John surgery -- have essentially wiped out each of Giles' last three seasons as he's pitched just eight MLB innings since the start of 2020. His last full season was sheer dominance, however, as he worked to a 1.87 ERA and 39.9% K% while saving 23 games across 53 appearances for the 2019 Toronto Blue Jays. With at least 15 teams expected to attend his workout, it's reasonable to expect Giles to land at least a minor-league deal with an invite to MLB spring training.

Ken Giles designated for assignment Friday

Ken Giles was designated for assignment Friday by the Seattle Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

Giles appeared in just five games for the Mariners this season, but was placed on IL in early July with right shoulder tightness. The 31-year-old was on a rehab assignment working his way back but it does not appear the Mariners had plans to bring him back into the fold. Fantasy managers should feel safe moving on from Giles.

Ken Giles (shoulder) placed on the IL

The Mariners placed Ken Giles on the injured list Saturday with tightness behind his throwing shoulder.

Fantasy Impact

Giles threw six pitches in relief Friday night before he was removed from the game. The veteran righty has missed most of the last few seasons to injury so the bad luck continues for him unfortunately. He had looked sharp in his four appearances entering Friday.
