With two weeks to go until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, the Los Angeles Angels added another potential arm to their rotation Monday after reportedly agreeing to a minor-league deal with right-hander Bud Norris, a source told Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

Norris has bounced around the last two years, with the Angels representing his fifth club over that time.

The 31-year-old split the 2016 season between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers, going 6-10 with a 5.10 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, and 102 strikeouts over 113 innings. He's gone 24-29 with a 4.81 ERA and 1.37 WHIP in 101 games (58 starts) since 2014.

Norris will likely compete with Jesse Chavez for the final spot in the rotation and could also serve in the bullpen.
