The 32-year-old began the season with the San Diego Padres on a minor league contract but was released last week.
According to Darragh McDonald of MLB Trade Rumors , Pablo Reyes has signed with the Angels.
Reyes, a seven-year veteran, is a .245/.305/.342 career hitter with eight home runs and 56 RBIs in 257 games.
Across those seven seasons, he has played for five different clubs, including the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees .
"For the Angels, there's no harm in bringing him aboard on a minor league deal and having some extra non-roster depth," McDonald wrote. "The Angels have the worst record in baseball at 37-56, lining them up to be clear deadline sellers."

Reyes' best season came in 2023 with the Red Sox, when he managed a 94 OPS+ with 20 RBIs and seven stolen bases in nine attempts.
Playing time for Reyes may open up due to injuries or the trade deadline. He can play shortstop, second base, and third base.
