Former Houston Astros closer Ken Giles and top prospect Hurston Waldrep were among 23 non-roster players invited to spring training Friday by the Atlanta Braves.
Ken Giles, who said he "didn't do my job, plain and simple" in Game 4, has been removed as the Houston Astros' closer for the rest of the World Series.
Will Harris will make $2.2 million this season and $2.8 million next year, according to multiple reports. The deal also includes a club option for 2019 worth $5.5 million to $8.5 million.
Houston Astros closer Ken Giles injured his right wrist when he was hit by a line drive during batting practice on Saturday. X-rays came back negative, and he was diagnosed with a contusion.
The Astros made a flurry of roster moves, activating Luke Gregerson, calling up OF Teoscar Hernandez and putting Preston Tucker on the DL.
Luke Gregerson wants to remain the Houston Astros' closer even though the team added the hard-throwing Ken Giles this offseason.
