The Oakland Athletics acquired veteran outfielder JJ Bleday from the Miami Marlins for left-handed pitcher A.J. Puk on Saturday, both teams announced.

Bleday, 25, was used sparingly in Miami last season, appearing in 65 with 204 at-bats. He finished with a .167 batting average, but showed some power in limited duty.

The Cleveland Guardians have traded outfielder Will Benson to the Cincinnati Reds for outfielder Justin Boyd.

The Guardians will also receive a player to be named later in the deal.

Boyd was a second-round pick out of Oregon State last year.

Benson was once considered one of Cleveland's top outfield prospects.

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired left-hander Anthony Misiewicz from their cross-state rival Kansas City Royals for cash considerations on Wednesday.

To make room on the 40-man roster, St. Louis designated right-hander James Naile for assignment on the Missouri native's 30th birthday.
