The Los Angeles Angels announced the signing of free agent reliever Adam Kolarek to a one-year, $900,000 deal on Sunday night.

The 34-year-old left-hander split the 2023 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, finishing with no decisions and no runs allowed in five appearances (6.0 innings).

The Dodgers traded Kolarek to the Mets with right-hander Phil Bickford in exchange for cash on Aug. 1.

Kolarek is 11-4 with a 3.62 ERA and four saves in 175 appearances (zero starts) with the Tampa Bay Rays (2017-19), Dodgers (2019-20, 2023), Oakland Athletics (2021-22) and Mets.
