After he batted .287 with 27 home runs and 81 runs batted in (RBIs) for Frisco, the Rangers promoted Olt to the major leagues on August 2.
In his debut, Olt recorded a hit in his first at-bat, and went 1-for-3.
On August 11, he hit a pinch hit walk-off single to beat the Tigers, 2-1.
The Rangers optioned Olt to the Round Rock Express of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League (PCL) during spring training in 2013.
He struggled to begin the season, batting .139 through April 25.
He reported problems with depth perception, which specialists indicated could be the result of a concussion.
When it was discovered that a lacrimal gland wasn't producing tears, he was given eye drops, which corrected the vision problem.
He returned to Round Rock on June 3.
After batting .213 at Round Rock, the Rangers traded Olt to the Chicago Cubs on July 22, 2013, with Justin Grimm, C. J. Edwards, and a player to be named later (Neil Ramirez), in exchange for Matt Garza.
