Reds Sign Former Phillies Pitcher to Minor League Deal

The Cincinnati Reds are signing right-handed pitcher Yunior Marte to a minor league deal, according to Francys Romero.

Marte has pitched in the majors across three seasons with the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies. The 30-year-old has appeared in 102 games and has an ERA of 5.64 in 113 1/3 innings.

He last pitched in the big leagues in 2024, when he appeared in 23 games for the Phillies. He had a 6.92 ERA and 23 strikeouts across 26 innings.

He spent the 2025 season in Nippon Professional Baseball, Japan's top baseball league. In 55 games for the Chunichi Dragons, Marte had an ERA of just 1.90. He struck out 50 batters across 52 innings.

Marte made his MLB debut on April 12, 2022, with the Giants and tossed a scoreless inning in relief.

Reds President of Baseball Operations has continued to express a need to add to their bullpen. While Marte most certainly won't make the Opening Day roster, there is a good chance we could see him in Cincinnati at some point in the 2026 season.
