Narveson signed a minor-league contract with the Indians on Tuesday, Paul Hoynes of Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Narveson's deal includes an invitation to big-league camp, so he'll receive an opportunity to audition for a bullpen gig. The 35-year-old served mostly as a starter and long reliever with Triple-A New Orleans last season, going 4-6 with a 3.41 ERA in 20 outings, but he'd likely serve as more of a lefty specialist if he surfaces with the Indians at any point. The southpaw held lefties to a .218 batting average in 119 at-bats at Triple-A in 2016.
