• The Chicago Cubs bolstered their defense again, agreeing to a $6.5 million contract with Gold Glove-winning catcher Tucker Barnhart.

Barnhart’s deal includes a $3.25 million salary for 2023 and a $3.25 million player option for 2024. The agreement includes escalators and performance bonuses that could make it worth $9.5 million over two seasons.

• Infielder Brandon Drury has agreed to a $17 million, two-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels.

Right-hander Oliver Ortega was designated for assignment Thursday to make room on the Angels’ 40-man roster for Drury, who hit a career-best 28 homers last season while playing for Cincinnati and San Diego.

Trevor Bauer was rein

• stated by Major League Baseball’s independent arbitrator, allowing the pitcher to resume his career at the start of the 2023 season.

The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher was given an unprecedented two-season suspension without pay for violating the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy after a San Diego woman said Bauer beat and sexually abused her last year, an accusation the pitcher denied.

The players’ association filed a grievance on Bauer’s behalf, and a three-person panel headed by independent arbitrator Martin Scheinman started hearing the case on May 23.

Major League Baseball said Scheinman upheld a 194-game suspension but reinistated Bauer immediately. As a result, Bauer will lose pay for the final 144 games of last season and for the first 50 games of next season, through May 23 if there are no postponements.
