Seattle acquired Bolton from the Pirates on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.
Analysis: Bolton surrendered 15 earned runs on 30 hits and 15 walks over his first 21.1 major-league innings with Pittsburgh in 2023, but the 25-year-old right-hander owns a 3.38 ERA with 129 strikeouts in 122.1 career innings of work at the Triple-A level. He could prove to be a nice pickup for the Mariners if his command improves.
Cody Bolton Recalled from Indianapolis
The Pirates recalled Bolton from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Bolton has put up a rather unimpressive 6.52 ERA and 2.22 WHIP through 19.1 innings in the majors this season. Nonetheless, he will come up to give Pittsburgh a fresh bullpen arm for its final series against Miami. Luis Ortiz was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
