Cubs acquire lefty reliever David Rollins

The Chicago Cubs added left-handed relief depth Friday by claiming David Rollins off waivers from the Seattle Mariners.

Rollins, 26, was 5-0 with a 3.77 ERA in 37 relief appearances at Triple-A Tacoma. Rollins walked six batters in 451/3 innings and limited opponents to a .236 batting average.

Rollins was 1-0 with a 7.71 ERA in 11 appearances with the Mariners. He was selected by Seattle in the 2014 Rule 5 draft from Houston but started 2015 on the restricted list serving an 80-game suspension for violating MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

Rollins was selected by Toronto in the 24th round of the 2011 draft out of San Jacinto College.
