The Guardians acquired Bolton from the Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations.

Bolton had been designated for assignment and is now on the move to a new 40-man roster. The 26-year-old has been assigned to Triple-A Columbus, where he will represent relief depth for Cleveland.

Double-A Arkansas placed Cranton on the 7-day injured list with a concussion, Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline reports.

He was struck by a comebacker in a Cactus League game March 7 and is building back up while working through concussion symptoms. Cranton, a 24-year-old reliever who Seattle saved money on in the third round last year, logged a 3.24 ERA with three saves and 14 strikeouts in 8.1 innings at Single-A after signing.

The Tigers announced Tuesday that Lange (lat) has been shut down from throwing temporarily and will complete a period of rest after he recently experienced increased upper-arm inflammation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Lange is in the midst of a rehab program for the right lat surgery he underwent last June, so it's less than ideal that he's contending with another arm-related issue during the ramp-up process. On the positive side, Lange wasn't recommended any further treatment for the arm inflammation after seeking multiple medical opinions, so the Tigers are hopeful that rest will be enough to resolve the issue. A timeline for Lange's return likely won't be established until he reaches the point in his rehab that he's facing live hitters, but he won't be available to make his 2025 Tigers debut until at least late May after being placed on the 60-day injured list during spring training.

The White Sox reinstated Gilbert (knee) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Chicago sent left-hander Brandon Eisert to Triple-A Charlotte to make room on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Gilbert. The left-hander opened the season on the shelf due to left knee inflammation, but he checked out healthy after making two rehab appearances for Charlotte last week. He'll operate as a multi-inning option in relief.

The Astros are expected to recall Contreras from Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Contreras was sent to the minors Monday, but he's set to rejoin the big club a day later with Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) headed to the injured list. The Astros will make the transaction official shortly before Tuesday's game against the Mariners. The right-handed Contreras has posted an 8.44 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 5.1 innings this season and will operate in low-leverage spots.

The Yankees designated Ottavino for assignment Tuesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

For the second time in five days, Ottavino has been removed from the Yankees' 40-man roster. He quickly re-signed the first time around, but it's not clear whether the Yankees plan to bring him back again.

The Yankees activated Hamilton (illness) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

An infection caused a late start to the season for Hamilton, but he's ready to rejoin the Yankees bullpen after making three rehab appearances. Hamilton should eventually work his way back into being a high-leverage reliever, but he might be eased into such situations.

Brash (elbow) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

After throwing a bullpen session Saturday, Brash is set to take another step forward in his throwing program Wednesday. He was a candidate to join Triple-A Tacoma for game action this past weekend, but frigid weather conditions prevented Brash from going on his minor-league rehab assignment. The Mariners will likely decide if he's ready to do so following Wednesday's session, and the hard-throwing right-hander should still be able to rejoin Seattle's bullpen by early May at the latest.

Munoz picked up the save after throwing a clean ninth inning in Monday's 4-3 win over Houston. He struck out one.

The Mariners retook the lead via a Jorge Polanco two-run single in the eighth inning, setting up Munoz to work the ninth inning and make relatively quick work of the bottom of Houston's lineup on just 13 pitches (nine strikes). The hard-throwing right-hander has allowed four walks through five innings to open the campaign, but he's fanned eight and converted each of his first four save chances while producing a 0.00 ERA thus far.

Estevez picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win against the Twins, allowing one run on a hit and a walk. He struck out one.

For the second consecutive day, Estevez was called upon for a save chance; however, unlike Sunday, this outing was not clean. After inducing a flyout to open the ninth, the right-hander allowed three of the next four batters to reach, including Harrison Bader knocking an RBI single. Estevez then generated a groundball to wrap up his 23-pitch outing. The 32-year-old remains the preferred closer in Kansas City but does not have much room for error with Lucas Erceg lurking.
