Blue Jays' Ken Giles: Available to pitch Tuesday
Gilse (illness) is available Tuesday against the Twins, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
An illness prevented Giles from pitching in Monday's game, with Joe Biagini getting the save. Giles threw prior to Tuesday's game and was deemed ready to go, so expect him to pitch in a save situation should one come up.

Blue Jays' Ken Giles: Testing availability
Giles (illness) will throw Tuesday afternoon to determine his availability for the second game against the Twins, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
Giles was unavailable for Monday's game, but will throw prior to the game Tuesday to see if he can pitch if a save opportunity were to arise. Joe Biagini was given the save in his absence Monday.

John Curtiss RP | ARI
Angels' John Curtiss: Sent to minors
Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Curtiss tossed 2.1 innings and allowed a run while striking out one and walking three during Monday's matchup, so he'll be sent back to Triple-A in order to add a fresh arm to the bullpen. Dillon Peters was called up in a corresponding move.

Dillon Peters RP | PIT
Angels' Dillon Peters: Called up by Angels
Peters has been recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Tuesday's game against Texas, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Peters started one game for the Bees prior to being promoted, tossing 5.1 scoreless frames while striking out one and walking one. Despite serving as a starter in the minor leagues, he'll be used in a bullpen role with the Angels.

Emilio Pagan RP | CIN
Rays' Emilio Pagan: Called up by Rays
Pagan was recalled from Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Pagan will take the spot of Blake Snell, who hit the injured list with a fractured toe. He'll fill a bullpen role and will have a chance to stick around once Snell returns if he can recapture the form which saw him post a 3.22 ERA with a 56:8 K:BB in 50.1 innings for the Mariners back in 2017.

Andrew Vasquez RP | DET
Twins' Andrew Vasquez: Sent down to Triple-A
Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Vasquez spent six days with the big-league club but only made one appearance, allowing three runs without recording a single out. Tyler Duffey will take his place on the roster.

Tyler Duffey RP | KC
Twins' Tyler Duffey: Recalled by Twins
Duffey was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Duffey has allowed one run while striking out 11 in six innings for Rochester this season. He hasn't had nearly that sort of success in parts of four big-league seasons, posting a 5.46 ERA and a mediocre 20.2 percent strikeout rate. Andrew Vazquez was optioned to Rochester in a corresponding move.

Daniel Hudson RP | LAD
Blue Jays' Daniel Hudson: Notches third hold
Hudson struck out one in two-thirds of an inning Monday to record his third hold of the season in a win over the Twins.
The veteran right-hander is settling into a setup role for the Jays, posting an 8:2 K:BB over 7.1 innings, although Hudson's 6.14 ERA is less appealing. Now on his fourth team in four years, his mid-90s fastball keeps earning him chances, but Hudson's too prone to homer-fueled meltdowns to be a reliable fantasy asset.

Ken Giles RP | ATL
Blue Jays' Ken Giles: Unavailable for Monday's save
Giles has been sick and was unavailable in Monday's game against the Twins, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
It does not sound like a serious illness, but it was enough for Giles to be unavailable. Joe Biagini recorded the save in that contest, and it is unclear if Giles would be available if a save opportunity were to arise Tuesday.

Alex Colome RP | CHW
White Sox's Alex Colome: Nails down fourth save
Colome walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to record his fourth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Royals on Monday.
The right-hander has looked good so far, posting a 2.57 ERA and 8:1 K:BB through seven innings while converting all four of his save chances. If recent White Sox history holds true, Colome will be flipped to a contender by the trade deadline, but his hold on the closer role for the team should be secure until then.
