Otero pitched one inning and walked one in Monday's Cactus League game against the Rangers.
Following a disastrous 2015 with the A's (6.75 ERA over 46.2 innings), Otero's 1.53 ERA in 70.2 innings of work last season made him a contender for AL Comeback Player of the Year. Discounting his nauseating 2015 campaign, Otero has been one of the better middle relievers since becoming a full-time big leaguer in 2013. The right-hander has managed to keep his ERA below 2.30 in three of his four seasons while limiting walks and preventing the deep fly. He'll serve in a mid-to-late-inning role for the Tribe, and with Andrew Miller and Cody Allen behind him eating up holds and saves, the 32-year-old doesn't offer much fantasy value.
