The Astros have announced that Ken Giles has been optioned to AAA Fresno while LHP Cionel Perez has been recalled to take has place on the roster.
Giles has had several noteable meltdowns late in games this season, all coming in non-save opportunities. He has also had emotional moments that have generated unfortunate headlines including punching himself in the face and using questionable language, possibly directed at Hinch, when being pulled from the game last night. Giles will get a chance to collect himself in Fresno, his first time there, and work on performing consistently while controlling his emotions.
