Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles left the club’s 6-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday in the ninth inning with right elbow soreness, the team announced after the game.
The right-handed reliever gave up a hit and walked three batters in 2/3 of an inning before manager Charlie Montoyo and a team trainer went to the mound to remove him from the game. He was charged with two earned runs.
Giles dealt with elbow issues throughout the 2019 campaign.
