Cleveland Guardians Acquire Pitcher Pedro Avila from Padres

The trade, primarily for cash considerations, aims to bolster Cleveland's pitching staff amidst recent injuries.

Pedro Avila, 27, joins the Guardians after being designated for assignment by the Padres on April 12.
Avila has a career ERA of 3.77 and will provide flexibility as both a starter and reliever.
The Guardians are currently off to a strong 12-5 start this season.
Infielder Angel Martinez, a key prospect for Cleveland, was moved to the 60-day injured list following surgery on his hand.
Avila will not be active for the immediate game against the Boston Red Sox but is expected to join the roster soon.
