The Cleveland Guardians announced on Tuesday that they acquired right-hander Cody Bolton from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for cash considerations. After acquiring him, Cleveland optioned him to Triple-A Columbus and moved left-hander John Means (elbow) to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster. The 26-year-old Bolton made his MLB debut in 2023 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and pitched last year with the Mariners. In 33 relief appearances over those two seasons, he produced a 5.40 ERA (5.09 FIP) and 1.80 WHIP with 39 strikeouts and 24 walks in 40 innings pitched. He'll serve as relief depth for the Guardians in the minors. In his first two relief outings at Triple-A Tacoma before the trade, Bolton gave up three runs (two earned) while walking three and striking out one in just two innings of work.

The Detroit Tigers placed catcher Jake Rogers (oblique) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left-oblique strain and recalled catcher Tomas Nido up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. The Tigers also shifted outfielder Wenceel Perez (back) to the 60-day injured list to make room for Nido on the 40-man roster. Rogers lands on the IL after injuring himself taking swings before Tuesday's win over the visiting New York Yankees. Dillon Dingler, who homered on Tuesday, will now take over as Detroit's primary backstop. It's unclear if the 29-year-old Rogers will be able to return when he's eligible to come off the IL on April 18. Before his injury on Tuesday, Rogers had gone 4-for-18 with a triple, three runs scored, four walks and five strikeouts in six games played. Dingler is now on the radar for those in two-catcher and AL-only leagues.

The Boston Red Sox announced on Tuesday that they recalled catcher Blake Sabol and right-hander Josh Winckowski from Triple-A Worcester after they placed catcher Connor Wong (finger) on the 10-day injured list with a left fifth-finger fracture. The team also designated right-hander Robert Stock for assignment. With Wong on the shelf, the inexperienced Carlos Narvaez will move into Boston's starting catcher role, with Sabol backing him up. The former seventh-round pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019 out of USC spent the last two years with the San Francisco Giants, hitting .243/.313/.392 with 13 home runs, 45 RBI and four stolen bases in 121 games played. Sabol also has the ability to play the outfield and first base, giving Boston some other options with him as a bat off the bench with Wong on the IL. He had gone 5-for-20 with two doubles and four RBI in his first six games with Worcester.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Josh Lowe (oblique) is improving nicely from a Grade 2 right-oblique strain that he suffered on Opening Day. "Josh is actually moving pretty pain free, which we're encouraged by that. It's still a ways, but we got to be happy with the way he's his body is feeling," manager Kevin Cash said. Lowe still has a ways to go before the Rays think about activating him from the IL, but so far he's making good progress from an injury that sidelined him last year as well. It remains to be seen when Lowe will resume baseball activities, but it seems unlikely that we'll see him back in the big leagues before the end of April. In the meantime, given all the injuries to Tampa Bay's outfielders -- Jonny DeLuca just went on the IL on Tuesday with a shoulder ailment -- both Kameron Misner and Jake Mangum will see regular playing time for the Rays.

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) is reportedly doing well in his rehab from offseason shoulder surgery last October to fix a torn labrum in his right shoulder. "He's doing very, very good. Took ground balls yesterday off the new clay that we have in place," manager Kevin Cash said. The 29-year-old didn't play in any games in spring training, but he was throwing, hitting and taking ground balls by the end of camp. He originally was hoping to make his Rays debut before the end of April, but since he has yet to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment, it's likely we won't see Kim for the first time in Tampa until early May. Once Kim is officially activated from the IL, he's expected to serve as the Ray's everyday shortstop. The South Korean is unlikely to repeat his breakout season in 2023 with the Padres, but at the very least he should be a nice source of steals as a middle infielder in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues.
