TEMPE, Ariz. -- In 2016, Cam Bedrosian seemed poised to become the Angels' closer of the future after enjoying a breakout campaign. He logged a 1.12 ERA over 45 appearances before undergoing season-ending surgery to treat a blood clot in his right arm.
The 26-year-old appeared to continue his trajectory toward the back end of the Angels' bullpen last year, when he did not allow a run during Spring Training and worked 6 2/3 scoreless innings over his first six regular-season appearances.
But Bedrosian then sustained a groin strain, which cost him nearly two months.
