The Cleveland Guardians activated David Fry from the 60-day injured list, designating Cody Bolton for assignment, as they manage injuries and roster adjustments, with Fry returning as a DH and Bolton's future uncertain amid bullpen needs.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed right-hander Vince Velasquez on the 15-day injured list with right elbow discomfort after making just one start since returning from injury. Velasquez had made seven starts of 3.06 ERA ball for the Pirates this season before being removed from the game against the Mariners. The Pirates have recalled right-hander Cody Bolton to replace Velasquez. GM Ben Cherington told 93.7 The Fan radio that the team had planned to shift Roansy Contreras to the bullpen before Velasquez’ injury, but it now seems those plans will be shelved and Contreras will remain in the rotation.
