Barnhart has decided to hang up his spikes after a dozen years in the majors from 2014-2025 that included stints with the Reds, Tigers, Cubs, Diamondbacks and Rangers. The 34-year-old backstop got into eight contests earlier this year with Texas and calls it a career after 920 big-league games.

Dunning provides Texas’ overworked bullpen with a badly-needed fresh arm in the wake of four consecutive extra-inning contests. The 30-year-old righty has operated in long relief this season out of the Rangers’ bullpen, recording a respectable 5.40 ERA across five innings (two appearances).

The 30-year-old journeyman outfielder latched on with Texas back in late May on a minor league deal as emergency depth. He’s gotten into 321 games between seven different organizations dating back to 2018.

Orioles selected the contract of C Jacob Stallings from Triple-A Norfolk.

Stallings joins Baltimore’s injury-depleted catching mix to pair with Gary Sánchez ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Rangers. The well-traveled 35-year-old latched on last week with the Orioles on a minor league pact and will get his chance following a back injury to Chadwick Tromp. He was cut loose earlier this month by the Rockies after hitting .143 (12-for-84) over 28 games this season. He’s appeared in 561 contests in the big leagues dating back to 2016.
