Ken Giles News
The Los Angeles Dodgers and free-agent reliever Ken Giles agreed to a minor-league contract on Saturday. The 32-year-old has made a mere nine appearances since 2020, but he has managed to resurface after tossing batting practice for interested teams recently. The move aims to bolster the Dodgers bullpen if Giles eventually works his way to a major-league roster spot, that is. He may have once been a lights-out closer, but he has a long way to go before rediscovering fantasy relevance. Giles tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings last year for the Seattle Mariners.
Free-agent reliever Ken Giles will toss live batting practice on Friday, per Jon Heyman. He has been working towards his comeback for the last five weeks in Phoenix. Giles hasn't been fantasy relevant since 2019 when he attained a 1.87 ERA, 83 punch outs, and 23 saves in 53 innings for the Blue Jays that year. The 32-year-old has pitched just eight innings since 2020, and he has struggled to resurface in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2020. Giles should remain on fantasy waiver wires, as there's no guarantee he'll handle a high-leverage role even on a bullpen-deprived squad.
Free-agent relief pitcher Ken Giles is set to throw for teams in Arizona on Friday. It sounds like multiple teams are going to be in attendance for this session. The 32-year-old is attempting to make a comeback to the mound. He has only appeared in nine games over the last three seasons due to injuries. Before that, Giles was a reliable ninth-inning option, but it's uncertain what he has left in the tank. It's unlikely he'll have any fantasy value unless he finds a closer job somewhere. Fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach here.
