/ CBS Chicago

(CBS) The Cubs have added to their bullpen.

Chicago signed left-handed reliever Brian Duensing to a one-year deal, it announced Friday. The 33-year-old Duensing was 1-0 with a 4.05 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 14 appearances for the Orioles in 2016. He missed much of the season after elbow surgery to address bone chips.

Duensing spent his first seven MLB seasons with the Twins and has a career 4.13 ERA. He has held lefties to a .236 batting average and .328 slugging percentage.

Chicago's 40-man roster is now at 39 players.
