Guardians trade for reliever, move Bieber to 60-day injured list

The Guardians acquired right-handed reliever Wes Parsons from Toronto on Wednesday in exchange for $250,000 in international bonus pool money, the club announced. Parsons, 31, was immediately optioned to Triple-A Columbus. In a corresponding move, Cleveland placed starting pitcher Shane Bieber on the 60-day injured list in order to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Parsons. Bieber suffered a season-ending elbow injury and is headed for reconstructive surgery in the near future.
