Returns to action Friday
Bolton (ankle) struck out one over a perfect inning of relief Friday in the Mariners' 9-5 loss to the Cubs in Cactus League play.
ANALYSIS
Bolton's appearance was his third of the spring but his first since Feb. 29 after a bout with ankle discomfort prompted the Mariners to hold him out for a few days. The 25-year-old looks like he'll be ready to go for the start of the regular season, but it's unclear if he has the inside track for a spot in Seattle's bullpen. He still has two minor-league options remaining and was hit hard in his first taste of the big leagues with Pittsburgh in 2023, logging a 6.33 ERA and 2.11 WHIP over 21.1 innings.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On taxi squad
Bolton joined the Pirates ahead of Sunday's game in Cincinnati as a member of the taxi squad.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was sent to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sept. 13, so he won't be eligible to rejoin the big club for a few more days unless the Pirates place a player on the injured list. Bolton has received his first taste of the majors this season and has a 6.52 ERA, 2.22 WHIP and 21:15 K:BB across 19.1 innings.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bolton made a quick impression after being drafted in the sixth round by the Pirates in the 2017 MLB Draft. However, he entered 2022 having thrown only 171.2 innings as a professional while heading into his age-24 season. That said, it comes as little surprise that the Pirates handled his workload carefully, as he worked primarily out of the bullpen and rarely in longer than three-inning stints with Triple-A Indianapolis in 2022. His potential value to fantasy managers moving forward could hinge on how the Pirates use him in 2023, as they could opt to return him to a starting role. Assuming his body holds up, Bolton could be a back-end starter as scouting reports suggest he has three average pitches with average command. If he sticks in the bullpen, he likely doesn't have the velocity to work in high-leverage roles, leaving him irrelevant in most fantasy formats.
