Bolanos, who signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on April 8, made his organizational debut Friday for Triple-A Jacksonville. He tossed four shutout innings against Nashville, striking out one while scattering two hits and one walk.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old right-hander will give the Marlins some added organizational starting depth while Miami has two members of its season-opening rotation (Trevor Rogers and Johnny Cueto) on the injured list. Bolanos has previously made five big-league starts, but he'll likely be behind at least Triple-A rotation mate Bryan Hoeing for a promotion when the Marlins require a replacement starter for Rogers beginning next week.

Bolanos cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolanos lost his spot on the Royals' 40-man roster last week but will remain in Omaha after going unclaimed on waivers. Over nine appearances (four starts) in the minors this year, he's posted a 5.49 ERA and 1.82 WHIP in 19.2 innings.

The Royals designated Bolanos for assignment Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolanos was already off the 26-man active roster after being optioned to Triple-A Omaha on June 4, but his removal from the 40-man roster clears a spot for top prospect Vinnie Pasquantino, who was promoted from Omaha and will take over as Kansas City's everyday first baseman following Monday's trade of Carlos Santana to Seattle. Before he was demoted to Triple-A, Bolanos made eight appearances spanning 18.1 innings out of the Royals bullpen and posted a 4.42 ERA and 1.75 WHIP.

Bolanos was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolanos returned from the COVID-19 injured list in late May, but he'll lose his spot on the active roster after he allowed three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one in one-third of an inning Friday against the Astros. The right-hander's demotion makes room on the major-league roster for Kris Bubic, who was recalled to start Saturday against Houston.

Bolanos (undisclosed) was activated from the injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Bolanos spent only two days on the injured list, it was likely for a COVID-19-related reason that didn't result in an extended absence. The right-hander will resume his usual multi-inning role in the bullpen. Foster Griffin was optioned to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move.

Bolanos (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday without an injury designation.
EDGE Analysis
Kansas City also didn't specify which list he was placed on, which often means the player landed on the COVID-19 IL. Assuming that's the case, Bolanos will be unavailable until he clears the league's testing protocols.

Bolanos allowed one run on two hits and two walks with four strikeouts in four relief innings in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Bolanos spared the Royals' bullpen with his quality long-relief assignment behind an ineffective start from Carlos Hernandez. This was the longest of Bolanos' five appearances this season, and his four strikeouts marked a season high. The right-hander has a 2.77 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 9:10 K:BB across 13 innings, and his 6.04 FIP indicates he's gotten more than his fair share of good luck.

Bolanos allowed three runs on four hits and three walks with one strikeout in 2.2 innings during Wednesday's 10-0 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Bolanos was assigned to mop-up duty in an impromptu bullpen game. He allowed a sacrifice fly to Paul DeJong and a two-run home run to Tyler O'Neill. Prior to Wednesday, Bolanos had covered 4.1 scoreless innings to begin the year, though he's been generous with baserunners in all three of his outings. The right-hander has given up eight hits and seven walks across seven innings in a multi-inning role, so he should consider himself lucky to have a 3.86 ERA.

Bolanos was recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bolanos failed to land a spot on the Royals' Opening Day roster this year, but he'll now join the major-league club after Kyle Isbel was sent down. The right-hander has made three minor-league appearances this season and has posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 13.1 innings.

Bolanos was optioned to Triple-A Omaha on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolanos came up short in his pursuit of the Opening Day roster and will head to Triple-A, where he posted a 6.34 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with a 34:27 K:BB over 38.1 frames a season ago. He'll be a candidate for a midseason promotion should the Royals need bullpen help.
