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.

Schmitt underwent a debridement of his lateral meniscus Friday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

The Giants said that Schmitt could be ready to return in roughly 6-to-8 weeks, but with San Francisco sitting at 47-62 -- well out of contention for a playoff spot -- the team likely won't be in any rush to bring him back and could opt to keep him out until 2027. Either way, he's expected to have a normal offseason and will be ready for the start of spring training.

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.

Carrigg is absent from the lineup for Colorado's matchup with Kansas City on Friday.

After snapping a modest four-game hitting streak Wednesday, Carrigg will ride the pine for Friday's series opener against the Royals. Brenton Doyle, back from the injured list, will man center field and bat eighth for the Rockies.

The Rockies reinstated Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

Doyle has been out since May 21 after suffering a left oblique contusion and a subsequent groin injury. Prior to being sidelined, the 28-year-old batted .207/.279/.270 with one home run, four RBI and nine stolen bases in 122 plate appearances. Colorado optioned Braxton Fulford to Triple-A Albuquerque to clear space for Doyle on the 26-man roster.

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.

The Rockies will activate Doyle (groin) from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game against the Royals, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Doyle has been sidelined since late May, first due to an oblique strain but more recently because of a strained groin. However, he has gone 10-for-21 with a home run since resuming his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque last week, clearing the way for his return. Doyle was not being used as an everyday player when he got hurt, and it might take the Rockies trading another outfielder to alter his playing time outlook.
