Olson

It’s presumably a minor league pact. The 31-year-old Olson last appeared in the majors with the Indians in 2019, posting a 4.40 ERA and 28/16 K/BB ratio in 30 2/3 innings over 39 relief appearances. He’ll offer some upper-level bullpen depth and experience.

Mark Feinsand of MLB.com says Olson will make $650,000 if in the majors. The left-hander has had an inconsistent parts of five seasons in the majors, but he has fanned a batter per frame while holding lefties to a .638 OPS.

Olson was outrighted by the Indians after being activated from the 60-day injured list. The 30-year-old compiled a 4.40 ERA over 39 relief appearances this season before missing time due to illness.

Olson is now out for the season with a non-baseball medical condition.

Olson had made two appearances on the farm but “his body hasn’t been bouncing back well” after those outings, per Mandy Bell of MLB.com. The lefty reliever landed on the IL on August 2 due to a non-baseball medical condition and there is currently no timetable for his return.

Olson has been dealing with shingles for the past two months. It’s unclear how long he’ll be out.

The move was made to open a roster spot for Michael Martinez, who was claimed off waivers from the Red Sox. Olson holds a miserable 5.27 ERA over 23 outings in the minors this year. He’s been designated for assignment by three teams in the past two months.

Olson passed through waivers unclaimed and will remain with the Tribe. The 26-year-old southpaw will be placed on the disabled list at Triple-A with an undisclosed illness.

Olson has spent the majority of the 2016 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 5.27 ERA across 27 1/3 innings. The 26-year-old left-hander will probably pass through waivers without a claim.

Olson made one appearance with the Yankees last month and owns a 5.27 ERA across 27 1/3 innings at the Triple-A level this season. The 26-year-old will serve as bullpen depth in the minors.
