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: Placed on 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Angels placed Marte (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Friday.
Marte has been shut down from throwing for at least another three weeks while he recovers from a right elbow stress reaction. His move to the 60-day IL opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Jake Lamb. Assuming he incurs no further setbacks in his recovery from the injury, Marte could be ready to join the Los Angeles bullpen at the start of June.

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: To throw bullpen Sunday
Rotowire
Marte (general soreness) is scheduled for another bullpen session Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register reports.
If that workout goes well, the next step could be his Cactus League debut. Marte, 26, has been brought along slowly this spring due to general soreness. He has also surrendered 14 runs -- 13 earned -- in 15 career major-league innings and will probably be ticketed for Triple-A Salt Lake out of camp.

Angels' Jose Marte: Working through soreness
Rotowire
Angels manager Phil Nevin said that Marte has been dealing with some soreness but will toss a bullpen session Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Nevin didn't go into detail about the nature of Marte's injury, but the unspecified soreness explains why the 26-year-old right-handed reliever has yet to make his Cactus League debut. Marte looks as though he'll be able to make an appearance before the end of the spring, but he'll likely be on the outside looking in for a spot in the Angels' Opening Day bullpen.

Angels' Jose Marte: Back from injured list
Rotowire

Marte has been out for nearly a month, as he hit the injured list Aug. 22. He was recalled for his major-league debut only two days before being sidelined, and he threw two shutout innings in that outing. Marte should have the chance to pitch out of the bullpen for the remainder of the season.

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.
