The Cleveland Guardians have claimed a left-handed pitcher off waivers from the Oakland Athletics and designated him for assignment. In a strategic move, they optioned him to Triple-A Columbus. This acquisition comes as the Guardians navigate their roster following the transfer of a right-handed pitcher to the 60-day injured list, creating space on the 40-man roster. The left-handed pitcher, recently injured and having undergone Tommy John surgery, will not be returning this season, prompting this timely transaction for depth in their pitching rotation.
