Inks minor-league deal with Miami The Marlins signed Marte (shoulder) to a minor-league contract Saturday that includes an invitation to spring training, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Impact Marte spent the last two seasons with the Phillies' organization, and in 2024 he posted a 6.92 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over 26 innings in the majors. Marte was shut down from throwing in mid-September due to a right shoulder injury, but he should be fully healthy for spring training and will look to earn a spot in the Marlins' bullpen for the 2025 season.

Dealing with shoulder injury Marte has been shut down from throwing with Triple-A Lehigh Valley due to a shoulder injury, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Seidman relays that the injury is serious enough that Marte could be done for the rest of the regular season. Marte's last outing in Triple-A was Sept. 5 against Buffalo, during which he gave up three runs on three hits and one walk over one inning. The 29-year-old right-hander appeared in 23 games for the Phillies this season and posted a 6.92 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over 26 innings.

Summoned from minors The Phillies recalled Marte from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Impact Marte will provide the Phillies with a fresh relief arm. The right-hander holds a 7.13 ERA and 23:14 K:BB over 24 innings this season, although the bloated ERA is mostly the result of one poor outing when he allowed seven runs and recorded just two outs.

Returns to Triple-A The Phillies optioned Marte to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander was recalled by Philadelphia on July 20 and will return to the minors after he surrendered seven runs across two-thirds of an inning Saturday at Arizona.

Beginning rehab assignment Marte (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Impact Marte has been on the injured list since early May due to shoulder inflammation, but he has now been given the green light to test his shoulder in a game environment.

Strikes out one in loss Marte threw a perfect inning while striking out one in Monday's 6-3 loss against the Reds.

Impact Over three games, the relief pitcher has pitched three innings with one walk and two strikeouts. Marte hasn't been used in any high-leverage situations as he's taken the mound in each of the team's losses, with two appearances coming when the score was well out of reach. Expect the 29-year-old to remain in his low-leverage role for the immediate future.

Optioned to Triple-A Marte was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Impact Marte pitched 2.2 innings over the past three days, so the Phillies will send him down in favor of a fresh arm for the bullpen. He gave up three earned runs while striking out five in five innings over four August appearances. Luis Ortiz was recalled in a corresponding move.

AUGUST 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Snares save Marte struck out the side in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Craig Kimbrel had pitched three of the last four days, likely making him unavailable Sunday. The Phillies opted to let Jose Alvarado take the heart of the Athletics' order, while Marte faced the 8-9-1 batters to secure the save, which was the first of his major-league career. Marte's 6.89 ERA doesn't tell the whole story -- he's kept runs off the board in 13 of 17 appearances, but he's given up multiple runs in each of the other four outings. He also has a 1.60 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings this season, though he shouldn't be expected to see many additional high-leverage looks.
