Indians Claim Tyler Olson From Royals

By charliewilmoth | July 9, 2016 at 2:14pm CDT

The Indians have announced that they’ve claimed lefty Tyler Olson from the Royals and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus. The Royals designated Olson for assignment last week.

Olson has had a busy few months moving from organization to organization — the Dodgers and then Yankees acquired him in minor deals over the offseason, and the Royals claimed him last month. The 26-year-old appeared briefly for the Mariners last year and with the Yankees this year, mainly throwing in the upper 80s in his big-league stints. He’s pitched for two Triple-A teams this season, posting a 4.81 ERA, 6.1 K/9 and 2.7 BB/9 over 33 2/3 innings mostly spent in relief.

    Never heard of this guy but he must be terrible if the Yankees and their awful pitching DFA’d him

    Indians replace Gorzelanny with a younger Gorzelanny. We’re on LHP reliever 5 with T.J. House in pen now. Offseason signings Gorzelanny/Detwiler/Thatcher failed. Indians should think about a move within division. Kintzler/Abad would be solid bullpen arms to aquire with control through next season.
