The Cubs organization places Doug Deeds on the disabled list.
The Kansas City organization reinstates Brian Buchanan from the disabled list.
The Dodgers place Doug Mientkiewicz on the disabled list.
Texas activates Willie Eyre from the disabled list.
Washington places Joe Beimel on the disabled list.
Washington places Cristian Guzman on the disabled list.
Lew Ford signs with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League.
As always, feel free to supplement this list in the comments.
