The Angels optioned Curtiss to Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was the casualty after the Angels needed a spot on the active roster for Jose Suarez, who is scheduled to start Sunday's series finale in Seattle. The right-hander will slot into the bullpen at Salt Lake, where he had posted a 5.91 ERA and 1.56 WHIP in 21.1 innings prior to being promoted to the majors a few days ago.

Curtiss had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Friday's game against the Mariners, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was designated for assignment by the Angels at the end of April, though he was eventually ourighted to Triple-A after failing to draw interest while on the waiver wire. He owns a 5.91 ERA with 29 strikeouts across 21.1 innings this season with the Bees.

Curtiss cleared waivers Friday and was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake.
EDGE Analysis
No team was particularly interested in a 26-year-old with just 17.1 major-league innings under his belt and a 6.75 career ERA. He could be back with the Angels at some point this season but the fact that he's no longer on the 40-man roster makes that less likely.

Curtiss was designated for assignment Tuesday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was booted off the 40-man roster to make room for Griffin Canning, who's set to make his major-league debut Tuesday night. Curtiss will hit the waiver wire after making one appearance for the Angels in 2019, allowing a run on two hits and three walks while fanning one over 2.1 frames.

Curtiss was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake City on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Registerreports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was recalled in a corresponding move that sent Jaime Barria to Triple-A. He's already pitched briefly at the major-league level this season, logging 2.1 innings and striking out one while allowing one earned run. He figures to add depth to the bullpen, but likely won't factor much into high-leverage situations.

Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss tossed 2.1 innings and allowed a run while striking out one and walking three during Monday's matchup, so he'll be sent back to Triple-A in order to add a fresh arm to the bullpen. Dillon Peters was called up in a corresponding move.

Curtiss was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss has thrown 15 major-league innings over the last two seasons, all with the Twins, struggling to a 7.20 ERA. He's allowed four runs in 3.2 innings with a 3:6 K:BB for Salt Lake this season. Taylor Ward was optioned to Salt Lake in a corresponding move.

Curtiss was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss has just 15 big-league innings under his belt, so his chances of breaking camp with the team were likely always slim. The 25-year-old posted a 2.77 ERA for Triple-A Rochester in the Twins' system last year, though he'll need to cut down on his 12.9 percent walk rate if he's to make a significant impact at the highest level.

Curtiss was traded from the Twins to the Angels on Tuesday in exchange for minor-league infielder Daniel Ozoria.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was cast off the Twins' 40-man roster on Monday after Minnesota signed Blake Parker. The righty has thrown 15 major-league innings over the last two innings, allowing 12 runs, though his 2.77 ERA in 55.1 frames at the Triple-A level last season gives at least some reason for optimism. He'll be competing for one of the final bullpen spots in Los Angeles. Parker Bridwell was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Curtiss was designated for assignment by the Twins on Monday, LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Curtiss was removed from Minnesota's 40-man roster in order to free up a spot for reliever Blake Parker, who was officially signed to a one-year deal Monday. The 25-year-old spent most of the 2018 season with Triple-A Rochester, posting a 2.77 ERA, 9.9 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9 across 55.1 innings. Over parts of the past two seasons, Curtiss owns a 7.20 ERA across 15.0 big-league frames.
