Mariners add Olmos to bolster bullpen

ARLINGTON -- Edgar Olmos, a 25-year-old left-hander with five games of Major League experience, was recalled by the Mariners from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday to bolster a bullpen that was stretched thin by three short outings from the team's starters in a weekend series in Boston.

Left-hander Rob Rasmussen, who was acquired from the Blue Jays in the Mark Lowe trade on July 31, was optioned to Tacoma to open a roster spot. Rasmussen pitched in all three games in Boston and picked up the win in the series finale, but he had a 14.
