The Astros made a move yesterday that shocked fans, or gave them exactly what they wanted. After his emotional outburst, former closer Ken Giles was optioned down to Triple-A. While the Astros are saying all the right things, there could be a chance that Giles has burned his last bridge. Giles is going to Triple-A to work on regaining his confidence, and hopefully, he will return to help down the stretch.
Cionel Perez made his debut last night, allowing one run in 1 2/3 innings. He did walk two hitters, but he looked like he could be part of the plans in 2018.
