Danny Coulombe RP | BOS
Orioles' Danny Coulombe: Back from 60-day IL
The Orioles activated Coulombe (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Friday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Coulombe had surgery in mid-June to remove bone chips from his pitching elbow, but he's made it back in time to get in a few appearances down the stretch of the regular season. The lefty was dynamite earlier this season before getting hurt, posting a 2.42 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB over 26 innings.

Tigers' Tyler Holton: Making start Friday
Holton will start Friday's game against the Orioles.
Holton will make his eighth start of the season Friday for Detroit as he continues to serve as an occasional opener.

Holton has a 2.12 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 70:15 K:BB across 89 innings this year.

Yankees' Ron Marinaccio: Designated for assignment
The Yankees designated Marinaccio for assignment Friday.
Marinaccio has collected a 3.86 ERA and 25:10 K:BB over 23.1 innings during his time with the Yankees this season. A career 12.6 percent walk rate is scary, but the 29-year-old also has a career 28.3 percent strikeout rate and is under team control for multiple seasons. He figures to draw interest via trade or waivers.

The Cubs recalled Wingenter from Triple-A Iowa on Friday.
The right-hander was demoted to Triple-A on Tuesday but will now take the roster spot of Jordan Wicks, who was placed on the injured list due to an oblique strain. Wingenter has appeared in just five big-league games between the Red Sox and Cubs this season and has given up nine earned runs with a 4:3 K:BB over 6.1 innings.
