Marte (shoulder) was activated from the injured list and outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Marte underwent surgery on his right shoulder in mid-September and is presumably still recovering. He could be ready to throw by spring training, though no official timeline has been announced by the team.

Angels' Jose Marte: Undergoes shoulder surgery
Rotowire
Marte had successful right shoulder surgery in mid-September, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
Marte's placement on the injured list Aug. 10 was due to a viral infection, and he was transferred to the 60-day IL on Aug. 30. The righty reliever reportedly "felt something in his shoulder" while trying to build up his arm strength, which resulted in the decision to shut down his throwing and have him undergo shoulder surgery, per MLB.com. It's unclear whether Marte will be ready to pitch when spring training comes around next year.

Angels' Jose Marte: Won't return in 2024
Rotowire
The Angels transferred Marte (illness) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Marte was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 10 due to a viral infection, and with Friday's shift to the 60-day IL, he won't be eligible to return during the 2024 regular season. The right-hander logged a 2.33 ERA in 19.1 big-league innings this season, a huge improvement on the 8.14 ERA he generated in 24.1 innings over the prior three years. The 28-year-old should be healthy in time for spring training.

Angels' Jose Marte: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
The Angels placed Marte on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a viral infection.
Marte has been surprisingly effective out of the bullpen for the Angels this season, posting a 2.33 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 19.1 innings. However, he'll now be held out until at least Aug. 23 as he fights off an infection. Right-hander Jack Kochanowicz was recalled from Double-A Rocket City in a corresponding move.

Angels' Jose Marte: Joining active roster
Rotowire
The Angels recalled Marte from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.
The Angels' 26-man roster had an opening following a trade Saturday that sent Carlos Estevez to the Phillies in exchange for a pair of minor-league pitchers. Marte will fill that opening for his second MLB stint of the season. The 28-year-old right-hander pitched 12.2 innings during his first stint and logged a 3.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP.

Angels' Jose Marte: Optioned to Salt Lake
Rotowire
The Angels optioned Marte to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.
Marte will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot as Jack Kochanowicz comes up from Double-A to start Thursday's game against the Mariners. Marte has posted the best numbers of his MLB career this season, logging a 3.55 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over 12.2 innings. He's been similarly as solid in the minor leagues (2.89 ERA in 18.2 innings), so there's a good chance the 28-year-old right-hander rejoins the Halos' bullpen at some point this season.

Angels' Jose Marte: Called up Saturday
Rotowire
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.

Angels' Jose Marte: Back with Halos
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.

Jose Marte: Hits open market
Rotowire
Marte was non-tendered by the Angels on Friday, MLB.com reports.
Marte gave up nine runs while walking seven in 9.1 innings of relief for the Angels in 2023 and he struggled to a 7.36 ERA with the big club in 2022. The 27-year-old reliever averaged 95.2 mph with his fastball last season, which represents a career low over three MLB seasons.

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.
