ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Veteran right-hander Mat Latos has signed a major league contract with the Los Angeles Angels, three days after he was released by the Dodgers.

Latos, 27, is in his seventh big league season, and his first appearance with the Angels will mark his American League debut. He also pitched for the Padres, Reds and Marlins, topping out at 14 wins with San Diego in 2010 and with Cincinnati in 2012 and 2013.

Latos began this season with Miami, going 4-7 with a 4.48 ERA in 16 starts before going to the Dodgers with Michael Morse as part of a three-team trade involving the Atlanta Braves.

Latos' final appearance as a Dodger was on Sept. 15, when he gave up a home run to Colorado's Nolan Arenado in the 16th inning of a 5-4 loss at Dodger Stadium. That was his first relief appearance in the big leagues after 174 starts.
