The Yankees optioned Olson to Triple-A Sranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson was sent back to the minors just one day after being recalled to make room on the roster for catcher/designated hitter Gary Sanchez. Olson has already had two stints with the big club this season, so there's a good chance he is back with the Yankees at some point this season.

Olson was recalled by the Yankees on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty reliever will rejoin the Yankees after spending much of the past month at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he worked a 6.59 ERA over 13.2 innings of work. He adds left-handed depth in the pen, but his likely role as a low-leverage arm severely hinders any fantasy value.

Olson was optioned back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olson was called up Friday to provide an extra lefty arm in the bullpen, but he'll return to Triple-A, with Branden Pinder coming up to the Yankees in his place. Olson threw 2.2 innings in Friday's 7-1 loss, allowing two earned runs on three hits.

Olson was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson has made one start with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, throwing four-scoreless innings. With the Yankees' starting rotation set at this point in the campaign, Olson's recall was likely made to provide the team with an additional lefthander in the bullpen ahead of a three-game set with Seattle.

Olson was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and assigned to minor league camp on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson had an up-and-down spring, finishing his time in the big league camp after giving up five earned runs in seven innings while also giving up seven hits, five walks and hitting three batters. He cracked the Mariners roster for 11 games last season, but has had mixed success in their minor league system prior to that. He'll likely provide organizational depth with the ability to work as either a starter or a reliever for the Yankees this season.

Olson was traded to the Yankees on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson was part of a package that included infielder Ronald Torreyes and sent infielder Rob Segedin and cash or a player to be named later to the Dodgers. Olson spent 2015 in the Mariners organization, pitching a mere 13.1 innings in the majors and making 25 appearances with Triple-A Tacoma. His ERA at both levels exceeded 4.40, so he should just be organizational depth for the Yankees.

Olson was designated for assignment on Wednesday, SB Nation's Eric Stephen reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers needed to make room for Brandon Beachy on the 40-man roster, so Olson was the casualty. A 26-year-old southpaw, Olson has just 13.1 innings (all in relief) under his belt in the big leagues, and will offer organizational bullpen depth in 2016.

Olson was traded to the Dodgers on Friday for cash considerations or a player to be named later, Jon Morosi of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olson, who was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Wednesday, will now join the Dodgers after making Seattle's Opening Day roster in 2015. He had an injury shortened season with just 26 relief appearances between Triple-A Tacoma and Seattle.

Olson was designated for assignment Wednesday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners claimed right-hander A.J Schugel off waivers Wednesday, which forced the team to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Olson spent most of the 2015 campaign at Triple-A Tacoma where he notched a 4.47 ERA with 53 strikeouts and 17 walks across 54.1 innings of work. He'll now be subject to waivers and could be picked up by a team looking to add a lefty.
