Rangers get lefty Rollins on a waiver claim

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers have received left-hander David Rollins on a waiver claim.

Rollins was received by the AL West champion Rangers from the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, four days after the World Series champs had gotten the pitcher on a waiver claim from Seattle.

In 11 relief appearance for the Mariners last season, Rollins allowed eight runs over 9 1/3 innings. He spent the rest of the season with Triple-A Tacoma, going 5-0 with two saves and a 3.77 ERA in 37 games.

A Texas native, Rollins originally signed with Toronto after being taken in the 24th round in the 2011 amateur draft, and also spent time in Houston's organization.
