The Angels selected Marte's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
Marte will join the major-league roster for the first time this season, replacing Adam Cimber (shoulder) in the bullpen after Cimber was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Marte has appeared in 19 games with Salt Lake this year, compiling a 2.89 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 18.2 innings. Ehire Adrianza was released in a corresponding move to open a spot for Marte on the 40-man roster.

Rotowire
Marte signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Marte was non-tendered by Los Angeles in November, and he'll now return to the organization on a minor-league deal for the 2024 season. The right-hander figures to provide bullpen depth as needed, though he's struggled to find his footing in the big leagues so far in his career.

Angels' Jose Marte: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Marte from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
After losing four members of their pitching staff via waiver claims Thursday, Marte will come up from the minors to help replenish lost depth in the Angels' bullpen. The 27-year-old righty has spent most of the season working his way back from an elbow injury, and he holds a 7.80 ERA and 2.20 WHIP across 15 major-league innings in his career.

Angels' Jose Marte: Activated and optioned
Rotowire
Marte (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.
Marte struck out 10 batters and allowed two hits and two walks over 5.2 scoreless innings across five appearances for Salt Lake since moving his rehab assignment from the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Aug. 8. He hasn't pitched in the majors this season while recovering from a right elbow stress reaction, and the Angels have opted to give him a little more time at Salt Lake. Marte owns a 7.80 ERA over 15 career appearances in the majors and would likely have to settle for a lower-leverage role out of the bullpen when he's given a chance with the big club.

Angels' Jose Marte: In midst of rehab stint
Rotowire
Marte (elbow) begin a rehab assignment with the Angels' Arizona Complex League club July 22, and he's thus far allowed two runs and posted a 4:2 K:BB over 2.2 innings across three appearances.
Marte has been on the 60-day IL since before the start of the regular season due to a right elbow stress reaction. The righty reliever appears to be working through his rehab stint slowly, as he has had at least three days off between each of his outings thus far. Marte has allowed 13 earned runs over 15 career major-league innings spanning the past two campaigns, so he's not a lock to pitch for the Angels this season even after he's fully recovered from the injury.

Angels' Jose Marte: Shut down at least four weeks
Rotowire
The Angels announced Monday that Marte was diagnosed with a stress reaction in his right elbow and will be shut down for at least four weeks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Marte had yet to make his Cactus League debut due to what manager Phil Nevin and Angels director of sports medicine Mike Frostad termed as "soreness," but the right-handed reliever is evidently dealing with a more significant issue than the team initially led on. Given that he won't be able to resume throwing until late April or early May, Marte will essentially have to complete his own version of spring training before being ready to contribute out of the Angels bullpen. Bollinger suggests that Marte is a likely candidate to move to the 60-day injured list if the Angels need to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for another player.

Angels' Jose Marte: Takes loss in return
Rotowire
Marte (0-1) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Athletics after allowing an unearned run while walking two across 0.2 innings.
Marte, who had been out nearly a month for undisclosed reasons, entered the game with one out in the sixth inning but was unable to get the job done due to some command issues. Aside from walking two of the four batters he faced, he only tossed six of his 18 pitches for strikes. Despite this shaky outing, Marte should remain in the Angels' bullpen for the remainder of the campaign.
