Astros activate Ken Giles from paternity leave
The Houston Astros activated reliever Ken Giles from the paternity leave list.
What It Means:
Giles was away from the team over the weekend welcoming his child. He will retake his closer role for the Astros -- who are off Monday -- on Tuesday, in which the team opens a series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Giles owns a 3.69 ERA this season in 46 1/3 innings pitched.
The 25-year-old right-hander has posted an excellent 2.52 xFIP this year, to go with an outstanding 34.98 strikeout percentage (league average is 20.99 percent).
