NEW YORK -- The New York Mets have signed right-hander Stolmy Pimentel to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league camp for spring training.
Pimentel, 25, had a 3.97 ERA in eight relief appearances for the Texas Rangers in 2015. He made 12 relief appearances with the Pittsburgh Pirates the previous two seasons.
Pimentel originally was signed by the Boston Red Sox in 2006 out of the Dominican Republic.
Pimentel is the second player added by the Mets to a minor league deal with spring-training invite this offseason.
