Reliever Giles to get 'new start' with Blue Jays

OAKLAND -- Newly acquired Ken Giles had a well-documented incident with Astros manager AJ Hinch earlier this season, but Blue Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't think he'll be an issue in Toronto.

Giles got into a verbal spat with Hinch when he was removed during the ninth inning of a game against the A's on July 10. The two exchanged words and Hinch later said that Giles "has got to sort some things out." The next day Giles was optioned to the Minor Leagues and never returned.
