Olmsted

Olmstead had been outrighted in December to make room on the 40-man roster. While he had a difficult season in 2013, the Brewers still see potential in his right arm and are willing to keep him around as minor league depth.

The 25-year-old right-hander, who spent the past two seasons in the Red Sox organization, will be added to the Brewers’ 40-man roster. Olmsted owns a sparkling 1.96 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 213/47 K/BB ratio over 161 innings in his minor league career.

Olmsted struck out 14 over 10 1/3 innings this spring, but he had struggled of late, serving up two of his team-high four home runs allowed on Friday. The big right-hander has a shot to make his major league debut at some point this season.

Olmsted is now off Milwaukee’s 40-man roster. The 26-year-old right-hander posted a rough 5.88 ERA and 1.66 WHIP across 59 2/3 innings this past summer between Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville.

Olmsted was released by the Brewers on March 10. The right-hander had a 5.88 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 59 2/3 innings between the Brewers’ Double-A and Triple-A affiliates last season. He’ll be minor league depth for the Sox.

Olmstead posted a rough 5.88 ERA and 1.66 WHIP across 59 2/3 innings last season between Double-A Huntsville and Triple-A Nashville. The 26-year-old will attempt to latch on elsewhere.
