Cotts was a useful bullpen piece for the Brewers and Twins in 2015, but after failing to find much success while pitching exclusively at the Triple-A level last season, he was forced to settle for a minor-league deal with the Nats in the offseason. While he threw respectably in spring training, Cotts didn't shine nearly enough for the Nationals to justify opening up a 40-man roster spot for him. Assuming he decides to stick with the organization, Cotts figures to open the campaign with Triple-A Syracuse.

Cotts appeared in 68 games last season for the Brewers and Twins, going 1-0 with a 3.41 ERA while striking out 58 over 63.1 innings.

Cotts has yet to pitch this year but was decent in 63.1 innings last year when he played for both the Brewers and Twins and posted a 3.41 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and 58 strikeouts.

The Angels now need to make a decision on whether or not he is worthy of a major league call up because otherwise he's as good as gone. With plenty of teams out there looking for bullpen help, Cotts is sure to have a job in no time.
