The Cubs designated 2012 Gold Glove second baseman Darwin Barney for assignment on Tuesday to make room on the roster for Emilio Bonifacio, who was activated from the disabled list. They also optioned left-hander Zac Rosscup to Triple-A Iowa and recalled right-hander Kyle Hendricks.

The A’s reinstated outfielder Josh Reddick from the 15-day disabled list, the club announced today. The A’s also announced that infielder Andy Parrino was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento following the game Sunday.

Every lineup, every day, as they are made public by the clubs.

Joe Garagiola’s wonderful life has been one of humor and giving, of dignity, integrity and grace. Baseball has been a constant — his enduring love. Yet that’s just part of the story. Rather than curse the darkness, he has lit candles, hundreds of them.

Ten signature moments from the career of Greg Maddux, who will enter the Hall of Fame on Sunday.

Greg Maddux said he never thought much about his place in history or the Hall of Fame. But he’ll enter Cooperstown on Sunday as a slam-dunk selection, one of the greatest pitchers of all-time.

The Tigers pulled out a 4-3 win in the series opener against the D-backs on Monday at Chase Field, winning their second straight after a four-game losing streak.

Adam Jones showcased his power stroke Monday night in Anaheim, going deep twice — and for the third time in three games — to post a four-RBI game that lifted the Orioles to a series-opening 4-2 win over the Angels.

As soon as Koji Uehara recorded the final strikeout during last year’s World Series, it seemed teams were already busy jockeying for 2014 position in the free-agent market. With the benefit of some hindsight, here’s a list of the top 10 signings for the money.

Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud fell victim to one of the most impressive catches of the summer on Monday, when Seattle’s Dustin Ackley skied over the left-field wall in the sixth inning to rob him of a homer.

The Yankees committed five errors in Monday’s series opener against the Rangers, and although none of its runs was unearned, Texas manufactured a 4-2 victory. A three-run Rangers rally with two outs in the sixth inning did in the Yankees.
