The Toronto Blue Jaysannouncedthey had traded closer Roberto Osuna to the Houston Astrosin exchange for veteran reliever Ken Giles and minor league pitchers Hector Perez and David Paulino on Monday.The Athletic's Ken Rosenthalfirst reported the deal. Ryan Fagan of Sporting News shared comments from Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow on the trade:Ryan Fagan ryanfaganJeff Luhnow on trading for Roberto Osuna ... VDmCGNmsnAUSA Today'sBob Nightengalereported earlier in the day the Blue Jays were experiencing trouble attempting to trade Osuna Bradley Zimmer Jersey , with his 75-game suspension a hurdle in negotiations. The suspension will end Sunday.ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick reported Osuna was one of many Blue Jays players on the block ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline:Jerry Crasnick jcrasnickThe #BlueJays deadline trade conversations are focused on Roberto Osuna, Aaron Loup, Tyler Clippard, John Axford and Curtis Granderson. Theyre all in play. Josh Donaldson is working out inDunedin and expected back in August. Deal could be revisited next month.Osuna waseligibleto start his rehab assignment July 14 and has since pitched six innings for Toronto's Rookie League, High-A and Triple-A affiliates. During that time, he hasn't allowed a run and struck out seven batters.The 23-year-old right-hander had posted a 2.93 ERA with nine saves in 15 appearances for the Blue Jays this season.Osuna hasn't appeared on the mound for the Jays since their 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on May 6. Two days later, authorities in Torontoarrested himand charged him with assault.Hepleadednot guilty to the charge, and hisnext court appearanceis scheduled for Wednesday.When he's eligible to pitch again, Osuna will join what is already one of the best bullpens in baseball. Astros relievers are collectively first in FIP (3.07), second in strikeouts per nine innings (10.86) and fifth in WAR (4.8), per FanGraphs.With Giles leaving, Osuna could potentially become Houston's regular closer, though Hector Rondon has also thrived in the role.Giles is a solid return for Toronto http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-brandon-guyer-jersey , and The Athletic's Eno Sarris argued the Blue Jays' rationale for the trade:Eno Sarris enosarrisSomething really weird happened to Ken Giles鈥?slider this year. It鈥檚 obvious why Toronto is doing this: find the slider again, get a top 15 reliever in K-BB since 2015. The Astros side... G0loYsbti9Through 34 appearances, Giles' 4.99 ERA is on pace to be a career high. However, his 2.28 FIP is a much better indicator as to his performance in 2018, per FanGraphs. Ten of his 17 earned runs came over three games as well, which skew his ERA.Giles should benefit from a change of scenery. The Astros optioned him to their Triple-A affiliate earlier this month after he appeared to say, "F--k you, man," to manager A.J. Hinch following his exit from the team's6-5 win over the Oakland Athletics on July 10.That proved to be Giles' final appearance for the Astros.Even if the Blue Jays aren't any closer to playoff contention over the next few years, they could potentially flip Giles if he can rediscover his old self. He's under team control for two more seasons, which gives Toronto some flexibility regarding his long-term future with the franchise. If the Colorado Rockies hope to reach the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time in club history, they’ll need to beat the teams they’re expected to beat.The Rockies will get another chance Tuesday night in the series finale against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium.The Rockies (71-60) missed an opportunity to move into a tie atop the National League West by blowing a late lead against the Angels on Monday night in a 10-7 loss.Article continues below ...Colorado had moved ahead 7-5 on a grand slam by DJ LeMahieu in the eighth inning and appeared on the verge of handing the Angels their seventh straight defeat, but Los Angeles came back with five runs in the bottom half of the inning courtesy of five walks from the bullpen and a bases-loaded two-out throwing error by shortstop Trevor Story.The loss left the Rockies a game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks Erik Gonzalez Jersey , who lost 2-0 at the San Francisco Giants on Monday night.Colorado fell to 25-25 this season against teams below .500.They’ll get a chance to improve on that mark over the next eight games, all against teams that entered Tuesday with losing records. On the flip side, Colorado has the second-most victories against teams with winning records (46-35).During one stretch this summer, Colorado faced 46 consecutive opponents with a winning record, which tied for the longest stretch in NL history. The Rockies went 30-16 in that span.The Angels (64-68) avoided losing seven in a row for the first time in two years.Reduced to playing spoiler, Los Angeles was swept over the weekend by the American League West-leading Houston Astros at Angel Stadium.The Angels took their first lead since Aug. 19 with a four-run fourth inning on Monday night, moving ahead 4-2 on a three-run homer by Shohei Ohtani. Mike Trout then hit his first home run since July 31 to give the Angels a 5-2 lead.Ohtani is 4-for-8 in his past two starts with two home runs and five RBIs.“He’s impressive off the charts,” Angels outfielder Eric Young Jr. told Fox Sports West after the game. “The natural talent that he is, I’m glad that we’ve got him on our team.”Ohtani mainly starts against right-handers, and Colorado is scheduled to start left-hander Kyle Freeland, leaving Angels manager Mike Scioscia with another tough decision.Freeland (11-7, 2.96 ERA) is 5-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 14 starts since June 16.Freeland, a Denver native and the eighth overall draft pick in 2014 http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-josh-tomlin-jersey , has pitched at least five innings in his past 14 starts, allowing more than three earned runs just once.“Kyle’s been so consistent,” Rockies manager Bud Black told MLB.com after his last outing. “That’s the thing I’m really proud of and impressed by, just the consistency over the last 3 1/2 months. He’s taking the ball deep into the game, his strike-throwing ability, his ability to make big pitches at certain key parts of the game — as a second-year pitcher, he’s made big strides since his rookie season.”Freeland has never faced the Angels in his two-year career.After 102 major league relief appearances, Angels right-hander Noe Ramirez will make his first career start on Tuesday.Ramirez (4-4, 4.76 ERA) earned his first career save on Monday night.
