The Orioles placed Smith on the 15-day injured list Friday due to a groin strain, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Smith will be forced to sit for the rest of the regular season, and it's unclear whether the severity of the groin strain will keep him out of action for Baltimore's postseason run. Smith joined the Orioles in late June after being DFA'd and subsequently released by the Marlins. Working out of Baltimore's bullpen, Smith has posted a 5.74 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 26.2 innings. Southpaw reliever Danny Coulombe (elbow) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Sanchez (shoulder) will throw one inning or 25 pitches with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

Sanchez has been on the injured list since June 2 with right shoulder inflammation. He has tossed multiple live sessions since landing on the IL, and while he isn't expected to return in 2024, the 26-year-old right-hander will at least get some reps on a rehab assignment before the season is over. In his 14 appearances prior to landing on the IL, Sanchez had a 0-3 record with a 6.06 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB across 35.2 innings.

The Orioles activated Coulombe (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

Coulombe had surgery in mid-June to remove bone chips from his pitching elbow, but he's made it back in time to get in a few appearances down the stretch of the regular season. The lefty was dynamite earlier this season before getting hurt, posting a 2.42 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB over 26 innings.

Holton will start Friday's game against the Orioles.

Holton will make his eighth start of the season Friday for Detroit as he continues to serve as an occasional opener. The left-hander has worked his way into the closing mix with eight saves this season, but Jason Foley should get the save chance if Detroit has a lead in the ninth inning Friday. Holton has a 2.12 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 70:15 K:BB across 89 innings this year.

The Brewers recalled Herget from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

Herget has pitched well during his brief time with the big club this season, allowing two runs with a 7:3 K:BB over 8.2 innings. He will be used in low-leverage situations.

The Brewers designated Paredes for assignment Friday.

Paredes has posted a 1.74 ERA this season out of the Brewers' bullpen, but that's come with a 14:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings. The 28-year-old could draw some interest via trade or waivers.

The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Garabito has allowed eight runs over seven innings out of the Rangers' bullpen this month. His roster spot is being filled by Dane Dunning.

The Giants recalled Warren from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

He's taking the roster spot opened up when Jordan Hicks (shoulder) landed on the IL. Warren has allowed two runs over 6.2 innings during his brief time in the Giants' bullpen in 2024.

The Marlins optioned Soriano to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Soriano was called up by Miami on Sept. 7, and he allowed six runs over 6.1 frames in three appearances during his time with the big club. He's being sent down in favor of Shaun Anderson, who had his contract selected from Jacksonville on Friday.

The Yankees designated Marinaccio for assignment Friday.

Marinaccio has collected a 3.86 ERA and 25:10 K:BB over 23.1 innings during his time with the Yankees this season. A career 12.6 percent walk rate is scary, but the 29-year-old also has a career 28.3 percent strikeout rate and is under team control for multiple seasons. He figures to draw interest via trade or waivers.
