The Angels designated Cisnero for assignment Sunday.

Cisnero was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday after missing nearly four months due to shoulder inflammation, and he'll lose his place on the 26-man and 40-man rosters after one appearance. The 35-year-old has a 6.89 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB over 15.2 innings this season.

The Angels recalled Mederos from High-A Tri City on Sunday.

Mederos spent most of the campaign in Double-A Rocket City's starting rotation, but he moved to Tri City for his last outing. The right-hander hasn't pitched well at either level, as he allowed six runs at High-A and has a 6.60 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 69:48 K:BB across 88.2 innings at Double-A. He'll likely serve as a long-relief option while he's up with the big club.

The Athletics placed Adams on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right forearm tendinitis.

Per MLB.com, Adams' injury is expected to be a short-term issue, but he'll be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks. Dany Jimenez (oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move and will take Adams' spot in the bullpen.

The Athletics reinstated Jimenez (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Jimenez landed on the shelf in late June due to an oblique strain, but he's ready to rejoin the A's after a four-game rehab assignment. The right-hander has a save and five holds with a 3.04 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB across 23.2 innings this season.

The Tigers reinstated Greene (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list and designated him as the 27th man for Sunday's Little League Classic against the Yankees in Williamsport, Penn., Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. Green will bat second as the designated hitter.

The 23-year-old had been sidelined by a hamstring strain since late July but is ready to rejoin the Tigers after two-game rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo. Detroit will take advantage of the 27th man for Sunday's neutral-site game but will need to make a corresponding transaction for Greene prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Cubs.

The Yankees appointed Dominguez as the 27th man for Sunday's game against the Tigers in the Little League Classic at Williamsport, Penn.

Both teams get an extra player for Sunday's game at a neutral site, and New York will use that roster spot for its top prospect. Dominguez has struggled to a .612 OPS at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since returning from an oblique injury in late July, though he's hit better recently and has gone 7-for-17 in his past five games. The 21-year-old is in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest but will still return to the minors after the game, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, since there's no clear path to regular playing time with the big club.

Diaz was diagnosed with a left forearm contusion after exiting Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Diaz was hit by a pitch to lead off the bottom of the first inning and attempted to stay in to run the bases, but it wasn't long before he was replaced by a pinch runner. The 33-year-old appears to have avoided a fracture and should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener at Oakland.

Rendon (elbow) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 34-year-old will sit for the second straight game after being hit by a pitch on the right elbow Friday. Rendon isn't expected to require a trip to the injured list, but he may need another day or two before rejoining the lineup. Brandon Drury will shift to the hot corner Sunday while Michael Stefanic receives a start at second base.

Blanco (finger) is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Red Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander reported some finger soreness after being hit by a comebacker during his previous start Wednesday, but he'll be ready to make his next turn through the rotation Tuesday versus Boston. Blanco has pitched well in his first three starts of August with a 2.40 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB across 15 innings.

The Orioles recalled Selby from Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

The 26-year-old was acquired from the Royals in early July and will now receive his first look in the big leagues with the Orioles. Selby also spent time with the Pirates earlier in the season, but he's struggled at Triple-A between all three organizations with a 5.79 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 42:16 K:BB over 32.2 innings.
