Reports: Giles out for 2 days after cortisone shot

Toronto Blue Jays closer Ken Giles, a trade target of bullpen-needy teams, had a cortisone shot in his right elbow on Tuesday and will not be cleared to play catch for another two days, according to multiple reports.

The Athletic was first to report Giles receiving the cortisone shot.

The righty has been unavailable the past two games because of elbow soreness, manager Charlie Montoyo said.

"He's working through it. If he's not 100 percent, we're not going to pitch him," Montoyo said following Monday night's game.

Giles has been dealing with inflammation in his right elbow since June, when he spent 10 days on the injured list.

Giles, who earned the nickname "100 Miles Giles" because of the speed of some of his pitches, has impressive numbers this season when he has been able to pitch: 14 saves in 15 opportunities, a 1.54 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 35 innings.

The timing of his latest elbow woes could cost Toronto a chance to pick up a prospect or two before Wednesday's trade deadline.
