Cubs pick up lefty reliever Olmos from Mariners

Still searching for more help in the bullpen, the Cubs added left-handed pitcher Edgar Olmos to their roster on Friday, claiming him off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.

Here are his numbers, provided by the Cubs: Olmos, 25, went 1-0 with a 4.50 ERA (7 ER/14.0 IP) in six appearances with the Mariners last season, including two starts. He spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Tacoma, where he went 1-1 with a 3.55 ERA (13 ER/33.0 IP) in 20 games (two starts). He has a career 1-1 record with a 5.21 ERA (11 ER/19.0 IP) in 11 major league contests. He is 16-38 with a 4.44 ERA (258 ER/522.2 IP) in 199 career minor league games (73 starts) over eight professional seasons.

Olmos, 6-foot-4, 220-pounds, was drafted by the Marlins in the 2008 third round out of Birmingham High School in Van Nuys, Calif.
