Davidson will join the Giants in San Francisco and is likely to be added to the roster before Monday's game against the Twins, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

There's no word on whose roster spot he will take, but Jung Hoo Lee (groin) and Bryce Eldridge (head) are both banged up. Davidson has slashed .290/.361/.527 with 29 home runs, 20 stolen bases and a 53:118 BB:K over 125 games between the Double-A and Triple-A levels this season to earn his first promotion to the big leagues. The 24-year-old outfielder has experience at all three outfield spots but has primarily played center field in the minors.

Cease does not need surgery on his injured right shoulder, but his immediate availability is up in the air, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

An MRI showed inflammation, with Cease saying his shoulder feels a "bit heavy and achy and not normal." In the unlikely event that the Blue Jays squeeze their way into the postseason, the right-hander could eventually return to pitch. However, it's a long shot that he will be back later this week before the curtains close on the regular season. Cease has collected a 2.40 ERA and 239:78 K:BB over 169 innings covering 29 starts in his first year with the Blue Jays.

Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that it's unlikely Holliday (wrist) will return this season, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Holliday will be eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list later this week, but the Orioles are a safe bet to be officially eliminated from the postseason picture by then. Additionally, the club is still trying to get a better handle on Holliday's left wrist injury, as he will seek out additional opinions before determining a course of action. Holliday will finish his disappointing 2026 campaign with a .229/.300/.340 batting line, seven home runs and eight stolen bases over 98 contests.

Guerrero (back) is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

Guerrero was lifted from Sunday's 7-2 win over the Rangers because of lower-back tightness, and he's not feeling well enough a day later to return to the lineup. He's considered day-to-day, but with the Blue Jays' playoff hopes fading, Guerrero could be shut down if he doesn't improve in a hurry. Sean Keys will handle first base in Guerrero's stead Monday.

McGonigle is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

McGonigle will receive a rare day of rest after starting each of the previous 14 contests for the Tigers. Detroit will slot in Hao-Yu Lee at third base and John Peck at shortstop in Monday's series opener.

The Blue Jays recalled Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Dallas has been pitching exclusively in relief lately, logging a 2.65 ERA and 21:8 K:BB over 17 innings over his last 12 appearances (11 with Buffalo, one with Toronto). He'll be available for multiple innings out of the bullpen Monday versus the Orioles, and there's a good chance he'll be needed since starter Trey Yesavage (knee) will make an abbreviated start in his return from the IL.

The Blue Jays designated Mantiply for assignment Monday.

Mantiply has a minor-league option remaining, but Toronto opted to drop him from the 40-man roster entirely to open up a spot on the active roster for right-hander Trey Yesavage (knee), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Baltimore. Over 25 appearances out of the Toronto bullpen this season, Mantiply submitted a 3.33 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 22:5 K:BB in 27 innings while notching two wins and one hold.

The Blue Jays activated Yesavage (knee) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Yesavage will rejoin the rotation with a start Monday versus the Orioles after being shelved since early August following meniscus surgery on his left knee. He threw only 34 pitches over two-thirds of an inning during his lone rehab outing, and the Blue Jays are aiming to get just three frames out of Yesavage against Baltimore. The right-hander has authored a 3.65 ERA and 91:46 K:BB over 93.2 frames covering 18 starts in the big leagues this season.

The Blue Jays optioned Arrighetti to their spring training complex Monday.

Unless the Blue Jays deactivate another player due to an injury or personal circumstance during the final week of the regular season, Arrighetti's 2026 campaign has likely come to an end. After being acquired from the Astros at the trade deadline, the right-hander was ineffective over his seven appearances (two starts) for the Blue Jays, pitching to a 6.35 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 19:14 K:BB in 22.2 innings. Arrighetti will have to battle for a spot in the Toronto rotation next spring.

Gore (shoulder/back) will start Tuesday's game against the Mets in Arlington.

Gore was limited to four innings and 69 pitches during his previous outing Wednesday against the Red Sox while he dealt with spasms in his shoulder and upper back area, but he apparently checked out fine during his between-starts bullpen session and will return to the bump on five days rest. The southpaw will tentatively line up for two starts during the final week of the season, though he could have his turn Sunday in Minnesota skipped if the Rangers' playoff positioning is secure.
