The Twins traded Reyes to the Orioles on Friday in exchange for Dean Kremer, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Reyes made his Single-A debut last weekend after slashing .296/.409/.535 with seven homers, 44 RBI, 31 runs and 15 steals across 49 games in the Florida Complex League. The lefty-hitting outfielder won't turn 19 until October and is likely still several years away from reaching the big leagues.

Perez (orbital) will embark on a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Perez suffered a left orbital fracture June 16, when he struck himself below the eye with an exercise band while participating in a pregame workout. He's been cleared to start a rehab assignment, and if all goes well in the minors, Perez should be back with the Tigers by mid-August. He had a .594 OPS with three steals, seven home runs and 17 RBI over 175 plate appearances prior to his injury.

Raley is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday due to elbow soreness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Raley has been playing through a flexor strain in his forearm and pain in his elbow for a while now, Divish adds. Raley will be on the bench for Friday's series opener while Victor Robles starts in right field and bats ninth.

The Tigers placed Vierling on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Thursday, due to a left adductor strain.

Vierling tweaked his adductor during Wednesday's game against the Orioles. The injury is severe enough for him to go on the IL, and the Tigers will have a better sense of Vierling's return timeline once he's cleared to resume baseball activities. Max Clark's contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, and the 21-year-old outfielder will make his major-league debut against the Athletics on Friday.

The Tigers selected Clark's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Clark, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft, will make his major-league debut Friday, starting in center field and batting seventh against southpaw Jeffrey Springs and the Athletics. Clark earned his big-league promotion by slashing .276/.368/.434 with 21 steals, 11 home runs and 42 RBI across 418 plate appearances in Triple-A.

The Athletics optioned Thomas to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Jonathan Ornelas, whose contract was selected by the Athletics from Las Vegas. Thomas has been on the big-league roster since late April, but in 16 games since July 1 he's gone 4-for-34 (.118) with one RBI and a 38.9 percent strikeout rate while operating in a reserve role. He'll head back to Triple-A, where he's slashing .309/.397/.574 with one steal, five home runs and 19 RBI over 78 plate appearances this season.

The Blue Jays optioned Pinango to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

As Jesus Sanchez (ankle) returns from the injured list after missing over a month of action, Pinango will make his way down to the Triple-A squad. In 180 plate appearances this season, the 24-year-old has slashed .260/.306/.396 with five homers and 20 RBI.

The Blue Jays reinstated Sanchez (ankle) from the injured list Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Sanchez has been out for over a month. The 28-year-old had been hitting the ball well before being sidelined, slashing .274/.316/.437 with seven homers and 29 RBI in 234 plate appearances this season. Toronto optioned Yohendrick Pinango to Triple-A Buffalo to make room for Sanchez on the active roster.

Single-A Charleston activated de Brun (wrist) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

After recovering from December wrist surgery, de Brun completed a two-week rehab assignment with the Rays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. The 19-year-old outfielder was part of Tampa Bay's compensation for trading Shane Baz to the Orioles last winter, and he's gone 10-for-22 (.455) with two doubles, four RBI, three stolen bases and six runs scored over his first seven career minor-league games.

Triple-A Norfolk activated Trimble (hamstring) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Trimble is back in action with the Tides after missing over a month of play with right hamstring discomfort. The switch-hitting outfielder has made 88 plate appearances across four levels of minor-league ball this season, slashing .274/.375/.658 with eight home runs, four doubles, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored.
