The Tigers designated Granillo for assignment Friday.

By designating Granillo for assignment and placing Matt Vierling (groin) on the 10-day injured list, the Tigers opened up the necessary spots on the 26- and 40-man rosters for 21-year-old outfielder Max Clark, who will make his major-league debut Friday against the Athletics. Granillo was claimed off waivers by the Tigers on July 11 and allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across 3.2 innings with Toledo.

The Tigers optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

The move corresponds with the Tigers recalling southpaw Enmanuel De Jesus from Toledo. Hanifee appeared in seven games out of the Tigers' bullpen after being recalled by the team following the All-Star break. In that seven-game span, he allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters across 6.2 innings.

The Tigers recalled De Jesus from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

De Jesus has spent the last month in Triple-A, but he'll return to the majors in a move that corresponds with Brenan Hanifee being optioned to Toledo. De Jesus has appeared in 22 major-league games this season and has a 3.98 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 31.2 innings.

Martinez (elbow) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Visalia next week, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

Martinez has been on the injured list all season while working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He's been cleared to face hitters for the past two weeks, and he's scheduled to pitch in a simulated game at the team's spring training complex this weekend before joining one of Arizona's minor-league affiliates. The 25-year-old righty will likely require an extended rehab assignment after spending more than a year on the shelf, but he could still make it back to the D-backs' bullpen before the end of August.

Cano agreed to a two-year, $7.5 milion contract extension with the Orioles on Friday.

The extension covers Cano's final two arbitration years for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, with the Orioles having a $10 million club option for 2029, per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. Cano has been a key piece to the Orioles' bullpen and is in the midst of a career year. He has a 2.21 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, eight holds and a 31:8 K:BB across 36.2 innings this season.

The Brewers designated Pannone for assignment Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Pannone was called up to make a spot start for the Brewers on Wednesday, during which he gave up three runs (two earned) across three innings. Now that his services are no longer required by the big club, he'll lose his place on the active and 40-man rosters to make room for DL Hall (pectoral), who returned from the injured list Friday.

The Brewers reinstated Hall (pectoral) from the injured list Friday, Hunter Baumgardt of Fox Sports 920 Milwaukee reports.

Hall has been on the shelf since early June due to a left pec strain, but he has been pitching in rehab games since July 19. Across four appearances in the minors, he gave up two earned runs on three hits and three walks while punching out nine batters in 5.2 innings. He'll replace Thomas Pannone on the Brewers' pitching staff and will presumably work as a middle reliever.

Detroit announced that Holton will act as the opener for Friday's matchup against the Athletics, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With Casey Mize scratched with his trade interest heating up, the Tigers will send out Holton to open Friday's matchup with the A's. Holton has started two prior games this season. On the campaign, the 30-year-old owns a 3.04 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB through 47.1 innings. The left-hander has recorded scoreless outings in seven of his last eight appearances.

Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias said Friday that Helsley (elbow) has resumed a throwing program, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Helsley has made two separate trips to the injured list this season with right elbow trouble. He was shut down for nearly a month this time around, so it will take him some time to get ramped back up. Helsley was shifted to the 60-day IL earlier this month and is ineligible for activation until Aug. 29.

Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias said Friday that Selby underwent right shoulder surgery Tuesday to repair his labrum and rotator cuff, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.

Selby has been shelved for the entire 2026 and opted for surgery following multiple opinions. The procedure will knock Selby out for the remainder of this season, and he's expected to get a late start to next season, as well.
