He'll also get an invite to spring training. Asencio, 29, posted a 4.91 ERA and 29/19 K/BB ratio over 40 1/3 innings this season between the Indians and Cubs. It will be an uphill climb to win a roster spot.

Jairo Asencio has won the final spot in the Indians bullpen.

He made the team over Jeremy Accardo despite Accardo giving up just one run in nine innings this spring. Asencio was just acquired from the Braves on Thursday and was out of options, so he would have had to pass through waivers in order to be sent down.

Indians acquired RHP Jairo Asencio from the Braves for cash considerations.

Asencio appeared in just six games with the Braves last season, but had a solid 1.81 ERA, 26 saves and a 70/22 K/BB ratio over 54 2/3 innings at the Triple-A level. The 27-year-old right-hander makes for an interesting under-the-radar pickup. The Indians still need to make room for him on the 40-man roster.
