Tigers' Drew Sommers: Relegated to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Sommers to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Since making his MLB debut Aug. 22, Sommers has given up six earned runs in just three innings of work. His poor performance will ultimately buy him a ticket back to the minors; meanwhile, the Tigers will bring up Bailey Horn from Toledo to round out their bullpen.

The Tigers recalled Horn from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Orioles' Corbin Martin: Cut loose from 40-man
The Orioles designated Martin for assignment Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Martin appeared in 10 games in August, surrendering 14 total runs on 19 hits and five walks across 10.2 innings. He is getting cut loose from the Orioles along with Elvin Rodriguez as Baltimore reinstates both Tyler Wells (elbow) and Jorge Mateo (hamstring) from the 60-day injured list.

Orioles' Elvin Rodriguez: Kicked off 40-man
The Orioles designated Rodriguez for assignment Tuesday.
The Orioles needed to create roster space with Jorge Mateo (hamstring) and Tyler Wells (elbow) returning from the 60-day injured list, so Rodriguez will be jettisoned from the 40-man alongside Corbin Martin. Rodriguez has posted an unsightly 9.15 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 19.2 innings between Milwaukee and Baltimore this season, making it unlikely that another team targets him on waivers.

Blue Jays' Robinson Pina: Recalled, placed on 60-day IL
The Blue Jays recalled Pina from Triple-A Buffalo and placed him on the 60-day injured list Tuesday with a right elbow UCL sprain.
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Ryan Borucki. Pina hasn't pitched since the beginning of August and will not return this season, although at this point it appears he will not have surgery.

Cantillo has joined the Guardians in Boston and is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to start Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Logan Allen had been lined up to start Wednesday, but it's not clear whether he'll be pushed back in the schedule or moved to the bullpen.
