Marshall signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on Thursday, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Marshall underwent Tommy John surgery back in November of 2021. He's presumably fully recovered from that operation, although that has not been confirmed. The 32-year-old posted a 3.31 ERA and 97:40 K:BB over 100.2 innings for the White Sox from 2019-21, so he could be useful for the Angels if he can regain his pre-injury form.

Rotowire
Marshall (elbow) felt soreness after throwing back-to-back games on rehab earlier this month and hasn't pitched since.
In total, Marshall made five appearances for Triple-A Charlotte but was shut down following an outing Sept. 4.

"But I think we're heading in the right direction after the little bump in the road." He's targeting the postseason for a potential return.

Rotowire
Marshall (elbow) tossed a 25-pitch bullpen session Monday as he continues to close in on beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Marshall was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a strained right flexor pronator in his elbow.

White Sox's Evan Marshall: Walked off Friday
Rotowire
Marshall (0-2) allowed a run on three hits over one-plus innings and was tagged with the loss to the Yankees on Friday.
Marshall got three outs in the eighth inning but none in the bottom of the ninth. Singles by Aaron Judge, Gio Urshela and Gleyber Torres put Marshall on the losing end of the Yankees' walkoff win. Marshall has been a valued member of the bullpen the last two seasons, but he's not fooling anyone in 2021. He's allowed runs in eight of 15 appearances, posting a 6.89 ERA and 1.60 WHIP over 15.2 innings.

White Sox's Evan Marshall: Out for personal matter
Rotowire
White Sox manager Tony La Russa said that Marshall left the team Sunday to attend a funeral in Arizona, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
Chicago isn't expected to have Liam Hendriks, Aaron Bummer or Codi Heuer available out of the bullpen Sunday against the Rangers due to workload concerns, so Marshall's absence will further thin the White Sox's relief depth in the series finale. Since the White Sox aren't placing Marshall on the bereavement list, expect him to rejoin the team ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

White Sox's Evan Marshall: Tagged with loss
Rotowire
Marshall (0-1) was tagged with the loss as a result of allowing three runs on three hits while striking out two over one inning in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Angels.
Marshall entered the eighth inning with the White Sox holding a 3-2 lead and became the second member of the team's vaunted bullpen to give up the lead in the first three games -- Aaron Bummer did it on Opening Day. Marshall dispatched Mike Trout on strikes but gave up three straight loud-contact hits, including the game-deciding two-run home run that left Justin Upton's bat at 106.5 MPH.

White Sox's Evan Marshall: Avoids arbitration
Rotowire
Marshall and the White Sox avoided arbitration Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $2 million deal, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
The 30-year-old righty has settled in as quite a useful piece in the White Sox's bullpen. This past season was easily his strongest, as he backed up his 2.38 ERA with a 32.3 percent strikeout rate and a 7.5 percent walk rate, both career bests. He's yet to record a save in his seven-year big-league career, but another season with similar numbers could certainly see him pitch in the ninth inning at some point.

Rotowire
Marshall (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits without retiring a batter and took the loss in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.
Marshall entered with the White Sox leading by a run, but trouble was brewing. He allowed an inherited runner to score, then yielded two runs of his own. This was the second time in three appearances that Marshall has blown a save. He is serving as the primary bridge reliever to closer Alex Colome while Aaron Bummer (biceps) is sidelined.
