2016

The Nationals assigned Gott to the Syracuse Chiefs in the Triple–A International League to start the 2016 season. [15] He went on the seven-day disabled list on June 6 [15] with elbow inflammation, [24] and remained out of action until July 25, when he was sent to the Gulf Coast League Nationals of the rookie-level Gulf Coast League for a rehabilitation assignment.

2017

Gott began the 2017 season with Syracuse. The Nationals called him up to the majors on June 12 when Washington needed bullpen reinforcements. He earned his first win with the Nationals on June 13, but he ended up as the team's "sacrificial lamb" in a 13–2 loss to the Atlanta Braves the next day, needing 52 pitches to get through 2+23 innings, striking out two batters but giving up five runs – all earned – on five hits and two walks before he was relieved. [25] Washington optioned Gott back to Syracuse after the game. [26] The Nationals recalled Gott on July 14 after they optioned Sammy Solis to the minors and placed Joe Ross on the disabled list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament of the elbow. Appearing in the ninth inning of a game against the Cincinnati Reds the next day in which Washington led 10–2, Gott proceeded to give up five earned runs without recording an out before de facto closer Matt Grace entered to record the save. [27] The Nationals again optioned Gott to Syracuse on July 18. [28] On July 24, he went on the 7-day disabled list retroactive to July 22, [15] and did not return to action in 2017, subsequently being shut down for the season to undergo hernia surgery. [29] Overall in 2017, Gott made 30 appearances for Syracuse, pitching 37+13 innings, striking out 35, walking 13, posting a record of 2–0 and an ERA of 3.86, and going 4-for-4 in save opportunities; [15] for Washington, he made four appearances, with a 1–0 record and three strikeouts in three innings of work, but he also walked three and his major-league ERA for the season was 30.00. [15]

2018

After a standout performance in spring training in which he posted a 1.54 ERA in 11+23 innings over 11 appearances, [29] Gott began the 2018 season on the Nationals′ 25-man roster. To start the season, he appeared in five games, pitching five innings and giving up three earned runs for a 5.40 ERA before he was optioned to Syracuse on April 16. [30] [31] The Nationals recalled Gott on April 21 when they placed Grace on the disabled list. [32] Gott slipped on the mound and sprained his ankle at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., on May 5 during the sixth inning of a 7–3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, throwing 17 pitches and getting one out but giving up a single, two home runs, and three earned runs before exiting. [33] He remained with the Nationals after the incident and without a stint on the disabled list. [15] Gott had a 5.28 ERA, an 0–2 record, seven walks, and 12 strikeouts in 15+13 innings over 17 major-league appearances on the season [34] when the Nationals optioned him to Syracuse again to make room on their roster when they activated reliever Ryan Madson from the disabled list. [32] The Nationals again recalled Gott from Syracuse, along with reliever Wander Suero, on June 11 when they placed starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg and reliever Brandon Kintzler on the disabled list, [32] and on June 13 [32] – by which time he had lowered his major-league ERA for the season to 4.96 but had given up eight walks along with striking out 12 in the majors for the year [35] – again optioned him to Syracuse when they called up starting pitcher Erick Fedde from the Chiefs. [32]

San Francisco Giants

On February 13, 2019, after being designated for assignment, Gott was acquired by the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash. [36] Pitching for the Giants in 2019 he was 7–0 with one save and a 4.44 ERA, as in 50 relief appearances he pitched 52.2 innings and struck out 57 batters. [37] Gott made 15 appearances for the Giants in 2020, pitching to a ghastly 10.03 ERA with 8 strikeouts and 13 earned runs over 11.2 innings of work. [38] On February 21, 2021, Gott was designated for assignment after the signing of Aaron Sanchez was made official. [39] On February 25, Gott cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Triple–A Sacramento River Cats. [40]

On April 19, 2021, Gott was selected to the active roster. [41] He was designated for assignment by the Giants the next day without making an appearance for the team. [42] On April 27, he was outrighted to the alternate training site. [43] Gott spent the 2021 season with Triple-A Sacramento, making 43 appearances, posting a 4.10 ERA with 53 strikeouts. On September 4, Gott retired the side in the 9th inning to close out the first no-hitter in Sacramento River Cats history. [44] On October 4, Gott elected free agency. [45]

Milwaukee Brewers

On November 3, 2021, Gott signed a major league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. [46] He made 45 appearances out of the bullpen in 2022, recording a 4.14 ERA with 44 strikeouts across 45+23 innings pitched. On November 18, 2022, Gott was non–tendered and became a free agent. [47]
