TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays have traded closer Roberto Osuna to the Houston Astros for pitchers Ken Giles, David Paulino and Hector Perez.

Osuna has been serving a 75-game suspension for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy after being arrested and charged with assault by Toronto police on May 8.

He can return to major-league action on Sunday. His next scheduled court appearance is Wednesday in Toronto.

Osuna had nine saves and a 2.03 earned-run average in 15 appearances with Toronto this season prior to his suspension.

He has 104 saves in 221 appearances over three-plus seasons with Toronto.

More coming.
