Flaherty (forearm) is slated to throw a 2-to-3-inning simulated game Saturday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Flaherty made a rehab start last Sunday with Triple-A Toledo, throwing 19 pitches over 1.1 scoreless innings. He will get stretched out a bit more Saturday and could rejoin the Tigers rotation next week, though he likely wouldn't be prepared for a full workload. Flaherty has been shelved since late July due to right forearm flexor inflammation.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Perez (orbital) is "most likely" done for the season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Perez suffered an orbital fracture and blurred vision back in June when he was struck in the face by an exercise band. He had to be pulled off a rehab assignment in August because his vision still wasn't back to normal, and it seems Perez will run out of time to return before the curtains close on the regular season.

The Red Sox recalled Seigler from Triple-A Worcester on Friday.

Seigler will rejoin the big-league club after spending just under two weeks in Worcester. In the majors this season, the 27-year-old has slashed .250/.331/.405 with three home runs and 13 RBI over 171 plate appearances. Boston sent Eli White (foot) to the 10-day IL to make room for Seigler on the roster.

Springer (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Friday's contest against the Orioles.

Springer has been slowed this week by a nagging left shoulder issue, but he appeared off the bench in the Blue Jays' last game Wednesday and is back in the lineup for the series opener versus Baltimore.

Boston placed White on the 10-day injured list with a right foot ligament injury Friday, retroactive to Sept. 9.

White had produced at least one base hit in seven of his last eight games before being sidelined Friday. The 32-year-old had been taking over in center field for Ceddanne Rafaela (quadriceps), becoming an everyday player. In 60 plate appearances since joining Boston, White is slashing .276/.300/.379 with one homer and 12 RBI. The Red Sox recalled Anthony Seigler from Triple-A Worcester to replace White on the active roster.

Sears has joined the Tigers in Detroit and is likely to be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Saturday's game against the Rockies, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back from the injured list next week, Sears may be in line for just one start for Detroit before either heading to the bullpen or reporting back to Triple-A.Sears has made one start and two relief appearances with the Tigers this season, authoring a 4.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 8:3 K;BB over 12.1 innings.

Montero is traveling to his native Venezuela for the birth of his child, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Montero has not yet been placed on the paternity leave list, but that could happen Saturday when Andrew Sears is added to the roster to make a spot start. With Jack Flaherty (forearm) due back next week, Montero could spend the stretch run in the bullpen.

Lee is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Rockies.

It looks to be a routine day off for the rookie infielder. Javier Baez will cover second base for the Tigers while Lee rests.

Caglianone (elbow) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game in Boston.

It will be the fifth straight game Caglianone has missed as he deals with a left flexor strain. The Royals have considered him day-to-day, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to action. John Rave will get another start in right field Friday.

The Athletics designated Rashi for assignment Friday.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of waiver claim Hunter Bigge. Rashi was a waiver claim himself in August and has allowed five earned runs with a 5:3 K:BB over 5.2 frames between the Diamondbacks and Athletics this season.
