The Chicago Cubs have informed prospect Mike Olt that he will be on the team's Opening Day roster.

"Olt showed us a lot this spring," Jed Hoyer said. "The way he swung the bat was really impressive. We like the work he's done at third."

Chicago acquired Olt in the Matt Garza trade with the Texas Rangers.

"Making sure he can play third base, that was really the key once it was clear his bat was ready," Hoyer said. "Over the past two weeks it was pretty clear if he was able to play third base we wanted the bat at Wrigley Field."
