CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Guardians acquired right-hander Cody Bolton from the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday for cash and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus.

Bolton has split his career between Pittsburgh and Seattle. He has appeared in 33 games the past two seasons that included 17 games for the Mariners last year, when he allowed nine earned runs in 18 2/3 innings with 17 strikeouts.

Bolton started the season with the Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma and was designated for assignment on April 5.

To make room for Bolton on the 40-man roster, the Guardians transferred left-hander John Means to the 60-day injured list.
