The Los Angeles Angels called up right-hander Jose Marte on Friday and optioned right-hander Aaron Slegers to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Marte, 25, is on a major league roster for the first time. He went 2-1 with a 3.65 ERA for four different minor league teams this season. He was acquired by the Angels in the trade-deadline deal that sent left-hander Tony Watson to the San Francisco Giants.
