The Mariners recalled Davila from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Cole Wilcox was placed on the 15-day IL with a left oblique strain in a corresponding move. Davila has pitched in 20 games out of the Seattle bullpen this season, logging a 3.57 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 9:11 K:BB across 22.2 innings.

Arrighetti will undergo an MRI on his injured right foot after exiting Thursday's rehab start, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Arrighetti experienced symptoms similar to the nerve issues he's previously dealt with, according to Zwelling. He's meeting the Blue Jays in Philadelphia and will undergo further testing. "Hopefully just a little pause, not a restart or reset," manager John Schneider said Friday. Arrighetti was acquired from the Astros in exchange for Daulton Varsho at the trade deadline earlier this week.

Garcia (elbow/neck/biceps) has been diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2026 season, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Garcia will undergo further testing to decide if he needs surgery, but manager John Schneider said Garcia's season is likely over. The right-hander has pitched in just one big-league game since May 22 of last season, and he was recently pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment due to ongoing arm issues. Garcia turns 36 years old later this month.

The Twins selected Culpepper's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

Culpepper will take over at shortstop for the Twins moving forward after slashing .271/.367/.478 with 14 homers, 46 RBI, 63 runs scored, 17 stolen bases and a 39:64 BB:K across 343 plate appearances with St. Paul this season. With power and speed upside, Culpepper should be added in all fantasy formats. He's batting seventh in his major-league debut Friday against Brewers lefty Shane Drohan.

The Twins designated Rashi for assignment Friday.

Minnesota needed the spot on the 40-man roster for Kaelen Culpepper's promotion to the big leagues. Rashi was acquired from the Diamondbacks in June and has posted a 4.76 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB across 17 innings with Triple-A St. Paul.

The Twins placed Ryan on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left glute strain.

Imaging revealed the injury Thursday, and it's unclear at this point if Ryan will need to miss more than the minimum 15 days. With Ryan off to the injured list, Zebby Matthews has been summoned back from Triple-A St. Paul and will start Friday's game against the Brewers. Ryan owns a 3.65 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 138:27 K:BB across 125.2 innings spanning 23 starts this season.

The Twins optioned Gray to Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

With top prospect Kaelen Culpepper promoted for his major-league debut, Gray will head back to the minors after slashing .225/.267/.324 with four homers, 29 RBI, 16 runs scored, two stolen bases and a 10:60 BB:K across 188 trips to the plate with the Twins this season. Culpepper should get a long runway at shortstop in Minnesota.

The Guardians recalled Aleman from Triple-A Columbus on Friday.

With Slade Cecconi off to the 15-day IL with right arm fatigue, Aleman is back in the Cleveland bullpen. Aleman has pitched in 14 games for the Guardians this season, posting a 3.77 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 17:5 K:BB across 14.1 innings.

The Guardians placed Cecconi on the 15-day injured list Friday with right arm fatigue, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Cleveland recalled Franco Aleman from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. After working exclusively as a starter the first four months of the season, Cecconi was bumped to the bullpen this week following the team's acquisition of Foster Griffin. The transition hasn't gone well for Cecconi, who failed to record an out in Thursday's 13-6 loss to the Mets, while surrendering four runs on three hits and two walks with a wild pitch.

The Rangers designated Kingham for assignment Friday.

Texas needed the 40-man roster spot to activate Jordan Montgomery (elbow) from the 60-day injured list. The 29-year-old Kingham made his major-league debut Monday and allowed one run on one hit and two walks with one strikeout across one inning. He has a 6.99 ERA across 46.1 innings at Triple-A Round Rock.
