The Cleveland Guardians have released right-hander Cody Bolton after designating him for assignment due to a need for a 40-man roster spot. Bolton spent the last month on the injured list while with Triple-A Columbus. Instead of placing him on the 60-day injured list, which would require covering his minimum salary, the team opted for a DFA to facilitate his release. Bolton's brief stint with the Guardians included one appearance. Future options could involve re-signing him to a minor league deal, allowing him to remain with the organization.
