Tigers designated RHP Jason Foley, RHP Tanner Rainey, LHP Sean Guenther, RHP Dugan Darnell, RHP Tyler Mattison and RHP Jack Little for assignment.

Foley is the most prominent name here as Detroit clears out several spots on the 40-man roster by booting nearly a half-dozen relievers from the mix. The 30-year-old former closer is recovering from shoulder surgery and won’t be an option until the second half of next season.

MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports Mark Vientos suffered a bone fracture on a hit-by-pitch in Thursday’s game against the Royals.

He’s “obviously going to miss weeks” per DiComo. Vientos has struggled this year, hitting .211/.253/.388 with 11 homers — and just .169/.215/.297 in 158 plate appearances against right-handers. The Mets may do the simple thing and add Ronny Mauricio back to the roster here for the weekend, but it’s possible they’ll look for a replacement first baseman.

Tigers purchased the contract of C/1B Eduardo Valencia from Triple-A Toledo.

The 26-year-old has hit .267/.353/.486 this season for the Mud Hens. It’s possible he plays some catcher in the short term while the team deals with Dillon Dingler’s hand injury.

Jahmai Jones

DET Designated Hitter #18

Tigers designated OF Jahmai Jones for assignment.

Jones has been shockingly bad for the Tigers this year, hitting .137/.219/.221 in 105 plate appearances, including .154/.250/.256 against left-handers. He hit .288/.393/.577 against lefties last year in 122 plate appearances. Still just 28, it’s possible he gets claimed off waivers.

Marlins recalled RHP Ryan Gusto from Triple-A Jacksonville.

Gusto could potentially mix in behind Janson Junk today in Junk’s return from the injured list, as he hasn’t pitched since July 2.

SF Relief Pitcher #74

Giants optioned RHP Ryan Walker to Triple-A Sacramento.

Walker had allowed 11 earned runs in his last six appearances while walking four and striking out just one. He’s far removed from the closer role in San Francisco and can be dropped in any leagues where you were holding out for a rebound.

Marlins optioned RHP Zach Brzykcy to Triple-A Jacksonville.

Brzykcy only got into one game with the Marlins, throwing two innings in a 14-3 win over the Rockies at the end of June. He’ll look to hone his craft with the Jumbo Shrimp while he awaits his next opportunity.

Giants recalled LHP Carson Whisenhunt from Triple-A Sacramento.

He’ll start tonight’s game against the Rockies. It’s not a pretty stream — Whisenhunt carries just a 4.42 ERA in 15 starts for the RiverCats — but the Rockies at home are a team worth picking on in deeper leagues.

John King

Marlins placed LHP John King on the 15-day injured list with a left lateral ankle sprain.

It’s a tough loss for the Marlins bullpen, as King was 5-2 with a 2.48 ERA in 40 innings thus far this year. There’s no word on how serious this injury is at this time, but the 15-day placement suggests he’ll be out at least until closer to the trade deadline.

Janson Junk

Marlins activated RHP Janson Junk from the 15-day injured list.

Junk will start today’s game against the Mariners. He carries a 4.80 ERA in 11 starts so far this year, but 15 of those came in a pair of starts right before his injury. He’s proven an interesting streamer so far, and the Mariners are a worthwhile offense to stream against in deeper leagues despite some uncertainty in his first game back off the injured list.

Rece Hinds

MIA Right Fielder

Marlins recalled OF Rece Hinds from Tripe-A Jacksonville.

Hinds hit an uninspiring .121/.167/.212 in 36 plate appearances in April and May with the Reds before being dealt to the Marlins in late May. He was hitting .231/.296/.404 for Triple-A Jacksonville. It seems unlikely that he’s a major part of the lineup plans for the Marlins, but he may make some starts against left-handers.
