Arrighetti (foot) will resume a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Arrighetti was diagnosed with Morton's Neuroma in his right foot and had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment with the issue, but the plan is for him to receive treatment and pitch through it. The righty is slated to throw 45-to-60 pitches for Buffalo, and he could be ready to join the Blue Jays' rotation after that.

Speier (back) retired two batters -- one via strikeout -- and allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks in Wednesday's 10-5 loss to the Yankees. He was the pitcher of record in the loss, dropping to 2-3 on the season.

Speier wasn't available for Tuesday's 4-1 loss while he nursed a back issue, but he received clearance for Wednesday's contest and was the first pitcher the Mariners turned to out of the bullpen when starter Bryce Miller exited after six innings. After entering a 5-5 game, Speier induced a Amed Rosario flyout to open the bottom of the seventh, but he allowed six of the next seven batters to reach base before he was mercifully pulled from the contest. Following the blowup appearance, Speier now sits on a 2.93 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 30.2 innings on the season.

The Tigers recalled Cruz from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Cruz is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts during his brief time in the majors this season and has also struggled at Toledo with a .230/.306/.309 battling line. The Tigers' outfield has been hit hard by injuries, which could allow the defensively-versatile Cruz some playing time.

The Tigers placed Outman on the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.

Outman was struck on the chin by an Erik Sabrowski pitch in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians. He remained in the game, but subsequent testing revealed the need for a trip to the concussion IL. It's unclear how long Outman might be sidelined.

Devenski signed a minor-league contract with the Mets on Tuesday and was assigned to Triple-A Syracuse.

Devenski debuted for Syracuse on Wednesday, striking out a batter over a perfect inning of relief. The 35-year-old righty had previously spent the entire season in the Pirates organization, making just three appearances at the big-league level while missing extended time due to an unspecified illness.

Clifford (undisclosed) has gone 0-for-7 with one walk, one RBI and one run in two games for Triple-A Syracuse since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Clifford spent the minimum amount of time on the shelf while recovering from what was presumably a minor injury. The 23-year-old first baseman has put together a .182/.275/.358 slash line with 16 home runs and eight steals while striking out at a 37.3 percent clip over 415 plate appearances with Syracuse on the season.

The Blue Jays recalled Estrada from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

He'll slide into the roster spot vacated by Brendon Little (paternity). Estrada has permitted seven runs (six earned) with an 8:8 K:BB over 12 frames during his time with the big club this season.

The Blue Jays placed Little on the paternity list Thursday.

He'll be away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new baby to the family. Lazaro Estrada will absorb Little's spot on the Blue Jays' roster.

Godbout (hand) has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts over his first two games at Double-A Portland since being assigned to the affiliate Tuesday after being reinstated from High-A Greenville's 60-day injured list.

Godbout slashed .277/.410/.492 with seven home runs and two stolen bases over 34 games with Greenville before hitting the shelf June 2 after fracturing his left hand and requiring surgery. The 23-year-old shortstop kicked off a rehab assignment at Single-A Salem on July 31, and after playing in five games in the Carolina League, the Red Sox decided that he was ready to make his Double-A debut.

Sanmartin struck out two across one scoreless inning in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

Sanmartin entered in the ninth inning, striking out two of the three batters he faced while throwing nine of his 15 pitches for strikes. He's logged three scoreless outings in seven appearances this season, posting a 9.45 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 6.2 innings.
