Sandlin will be shut down from throwing for a week after receiving a cortisone shot in his right elbow, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Sandlin was recently cleared to begin playing catch after landing on the injured list July 8 with elbow inflammation, but the Jays will now shut him down temporarily and see how he responds to his injection. Once the no-throw period is finished, a clearer timeline for the 28-year-old's return may begin to emerge.

Garcia (ankle) received a cortisone shot in his right elbow this week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

An ankle sprain sent Garcia to the injured list July 5, but he was recently shut down after experiencing elbow issues while ramping up his throwing program. The plan is for him to remain shut down for another two weeks, at which point the Jays will re-evaluate him and determine next steps.

The Tigers selected Hartlieb's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Hartlieb inked a minor-league contract with the Tigers earlier this month and is up with the big club after 2.1 perfect innings with four strikeouts at Toledo. The 31-year-old has managed just a 7.92 ERA over 66 career relief outings at the big-league level.

The Tigers designated Hernandez for assignment Thursday.

Hernandez was a waiver claim of the Tigers in June and is now headed back to waivers after he coughed up 13 runs (12 earned) over 10.2 frames for Detroit. The righty has been unable to translate his plus velocity into consistent results at the major-league level, with his career 11.1 percent walk rate being a big reason for that.

The Mariners optioned Garcia to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Garcia got hit feet wet at the big-league level this week, surrendering two runs (one earned) with a 1:3 K:BB over two innings. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen is being absorbed by Jackson Kowar.

The Mariners recalled Kowar from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Since being optioned to Triple-A in mid-June, Kowar has given up six runs (three earned) over nine innings while striking out 12 batters and walking seven. He owns a 2.08 ERA through 8.2 frames with the Mariners this year, but his career 8.38 ERA will keep him limited to a low-leverage role in Seattle's bullpen. Brandyn Garcia was optioned to Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Akin (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next rehab appearance Saturday with Triple-A Norfolk, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Akin kicked off his rehab assignment earlier this week in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, tossing one scoreless inning in his lone appearance before shifting his assignment to Norfolk. The lefty reliever gave up two runs (one earned) on one hit in his appearance for the Triple-A club Wednesday and will stick around with Norfolk through the weekend. If Akin checks out fine following Saturday's outing, the Orioles could reinstate him from the 15-day injured list early next week.

Dominguez is a candidate for save chances while Felix Bautista (shoulder) is out, although interim manager Tony Mansolino indicated Thursday that he doesn't think he'll have a set closer, Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com reports.

Dominguez notched 10 saves for the Orioles last season after being acquired at the trade deadline and has added two more saves this season. The 30-year-old has posted a 3.40 ERA with 51 strikeouts over 39.2 frames in 2025, but walks (24) have been an issue. Andrew Kittredge, Gregory Soto and Yennier Cano could also be in the mix for saves while Bautista is sidelined, but Dominguez is the guy to target on the waiver wire.

The Orioles recalled Strowd from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

He'll join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for right-hander Felix Bautista (shoulder), who was placed on the injured list. Strowd has yielded two runs in 4.1 frames with the Orioles this season and holds a 4.15 ERA and 41:15 K:BB over 34.2 innings at Norfolk.

The Orioles placed Bautista on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder discomfort.

Bautista was unavailable to pitch during Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Cleveland due to an undisclosed injury, and the Orioles have now revealed that the closer's shoulder is bothering him. Per interim manager Tony Mansolino, Bautista will undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the injury, according to Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com. Bautista's name has come up in trade rumors, but the injury likely means he's staying put ahead of the July 31 deadline. Seranthony Dominguez is the favorite to receive the bulk of the save chances for Baltimore while Bautista is shelved, although Mansolino indicated Thursday that he'll play matchups late in games, Brendan Mortensen of MASNSports.com reports.
