Back in big leagues Bolt was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to Tuesday's game against Detroit, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Bolt was a strong candidate to rejoin the major-league roster when rosters expand to 28 players on Wednesday, but his call-up comes a day earlier with Mitch Moreland (wrist) landing on the injured list. Bolt recorded just five hits in 47 previous major-league at-bats this season, and he should resume in a reserve outfield role going forward.

Demoted to Triple-A The Athletics optioned Bolt to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday, Shayna Rubin of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Bolt went just 4-for-33 with two RBI after being recalled June 19. Overall in 2021, the 27-year-old is hitting .106 in 47 at-bats with Oakland. He's optioned to make room for Mark Canha (hip) to be activated from the injured list.

Quiet since majors return Bolt sports a .148/.185/.333 slash line with one double, two RBI, one steal and one run across the 27 plate appearances he's logged in 11 games since being recalled from Triple-A L...

Impact Bolt logged starts in six of the first eight games following his promotion with Stephen Piscotty (wrist) on the injured list. However, his playing time dried up over the weekend series against the Red Sox, and with Piscotty now activated, Bolt could soon be headed back to Las Vegas, where he was running roughshod with a .375 average and 1.113 OPS across 80 plate appearances.

Optioned to Triple-A Bolt was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Impact Bolt served in a depth role with the big-league club across the last two weeks, but he'll return to the minors after Ramon Laureano (hip) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. The 27-year-old went 1-for-13 with a solo home run and three strikeouts during his most recent stint with the Athletics.

Slugs first big-league homer Bolt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Saturday.

Impact The 410-foot shot to center field in the eighth inning was Bolt's first career major-league round tripper. The 27-year-old did strike out in his other three plate appearances, however, giving him four punchouts over his first 10 big-league PAs this season.

Hitless in first start Bolt started in center field and went 0-for-3 in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.

Impact The 27-year-old made his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 1 and came up empty at the plate. Bolt, who raised expectations with a .375/.488/.625 slash line over 80 plate appearances with the Aviators, may have an opportunity to continue seeing occasional playing time while Ramon Laureano (hip) remains sidelined.

Traded to Athletics Bolt was traded from the Giants to the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Bolt was designated for assignment by the Giants on Friday, but he'll return to Oakland's 40-man roster via trade after he was waived by the team to begin the regular season. Bolt came off the bench in two games to begin the season and went 0-for-1 with a strikeout.

Recalled Tuesday Bolt was recalled prior to Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact This will likely be a very short stay with the big club for Bolt, as he's taking the place of Wandy Peralta, who was traded to the Yankees for outfielder Mike Tauchman. Once Tauchman is activated, Bolt will likely be optioned to the alternate site.

Sent packing to Las Vegas The Athletics optioned Bolt to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bolt was one of seven Athletics players optioned to the minors in the team's first round of roster cuts. Since receiving his first taste of the majors in 2019, the 27-year-old Bolt appears to have fallen behind multiple outfielders in the organizational pecking order, so he won't necessarily be the Athletics' first choice for a call-up in 2021.

Impact Even before the shoulder injury surfaced, Bolt was unlikely to break camp with the Athletics, but his return to full health will at least give him the opportunity to battle for a job. Bolt was included in the Athletics' 60-man roster pool in 2020, but he never received a call-up from the alternate training site.
