Bolt signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Feb. 23.
EDGE Analysis
Bolt spent all of last season with the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate, where he slashed .257/.359/.367 across 248 plate appearances. The 30-year-old outfielder owns a .471 career OPS in the majors and is unlikely to crack the big leagues with Atlanta.

Bolt signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Friday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bolt slashed .326/.385/.526 in Triple-A last season, though he was never able to put it together in the majors, where his numbers dropped to .198/.259/.330 across 116 plate appearances with Oakland. Milwaukee already has plenty of outfield talent at the major-league and minor-league levels, so Bolt will likely serve as organizational depth.

The Athletics reinstated Bolt (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and outrighted him to Triple-A Las Vegas.
EDGE Analysis
Bolt is healthy again after finishing off a four-game rehab assignment at Las Vegas over the weekend, but the Athletics don't have a spot available for him on the 28-man active roster and he's out of minor-league options. As a result, Bolt will lose his spot on the 40-man roster, but he'll stick in the organization now that he's already cleared outright waivers. Bolt hit .198 with four home runs and five stolen bases in 42 games prior to landing on the IL on Aug. 26.

Bolt (knee) went 3-for-10 with two doubles and three RBI while playing all nine innings in two rehab games for Triple-A Las Vegas against Sacramento on Saturday and Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolt played entire games in center field during what was his third and fourth rehab outings with the Aviators, seemingly proving his previously ailing knee is back to full health. The 28-year-old hit safely in each game down on the farm as well, so his timing at the plate appears to be a non-issue after what's been a relatively modest amount of time on the shelf.

Bolt (knee) started and played seven innings in left field for Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, going 1-for-4 with an RBI single in a win over Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
It was the second straight rehab start for Bolt, whose previously ailing knee appears to be close or all the way back to full health. Assuming he feels no residual effects from his workload the last two nights, Bolt may not need another rehab game before activation.

Bolt (knee) went 1-for-4 with a run-scoring groundout and an RBI double in Triple-A Las Vegas' loss to Sacramento on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The fact was Bolt able to play nearly a full game in center field in his rehab debut was of overriding importance, although the contributions with the bat were a nice bonus. Given he was thrust right into action defensively as opposed to being deployed in a DH role Wednesday, Bolt may not need more than another couple of rehab games with the Aviators before being deemed ready for activation.

Bolt was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee patella subluxation Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolt was hit by a pitch Thursday against the Yankees and will be unavailable for at least a week and a half after being diagnosed with a subluxation. Dermis Garcia was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to take his place on the active roster.

Bolt exited Tuesday's game against the Yankees with a right knee contusion, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bolt suffered the injury on a hit-by-pitch and finished the contest 0-for-2 with a run scored. The 28-year-old should be considered day-to-day heading into Friday's matchup with New York.

Bolt (knee) went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Marlins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Bolt was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup due to knee soreness and then made appearances as a defensive replacement in both weekend games against the Mariners. Monday saw him return to the lineup and hit safely for the third straight start in the process, pushing his average to a figure of .208, the highest it's been since Aug. 8.
