Reds' Tucker Barnhart: Latches on with Reds
The Cincinnati Reds signed Tucker Barnhart to a minor-league contract on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.Barnhart was released by the Diamondbacks in early July, and after spending a month in free agency, the 33-year-old catcher has finally found a home. He'll return to a Reds organization which he spent the first 13 years of his professional career with after being selected in the 10th round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. Considering Cincinnati isn't very thin at the catcher position, Barnhart doesn't have a clear path to big-league at-bats. He should be expected to report to Triple-A Louisville.

Diamondbacks' Tucker Barnhart: Designated for assignment
Tucker Barnhart was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.Barnhart will now be placed on waivers and the other 29 teams in the league will have an opportunity to claim him. The catcher has produced a .173 average with two doubles, six RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base over 81 at-bats in 31 games with Arizona this season. With Barnhart's disappointing output at the plate this year, he'll be the odd man out with Gabriel Moreno (thumb) expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Jose Herrera will operate as the primary backup behind Moreno at catcher with the Diamondbacks.
