Marlins signed INF Miguel Tejada to a minor league contract. The agreement was first reported last week by Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes and then confirmed Monday morning by CBS Sports' Jon Heyman. Tejada batted just .288/.317/.378 in 167 plate appearances last summer for the Royals before taking a 105-game suspension for a third positive amphetamines test. The 39-year-old still has games left to serve on that sentence and seems doubtful to make a positive impact in Miami.

ESPN Deportes' Enrique Rojas reports that the Marlins are close to signing Miguel Tejada to a minor league contract. Tejada, 39, batted .288/.317/.378 last season for the Royals before he was injured and then suspended for testing positive for amphetamines. He still has to serve the final 64 games of his 105-game suspension. Tejada will give the Marlins some infield depth once the suspension is up.

Miguel Tejada was suspended for the remainder of the Dominican winter league season on Friday after purchasing shares of a rival club. Tejada was on the active roster for Aguilas Cibaenas, but bought into the Gigantes del Cibao franchise. The 39-year-old came did a nice job in 53 games with the Royals in 2013, slashing .288/.317/.378 before he was suspended for testing positive for amphetamines. If he latches on elsewhere, he'll have to sit out the first 64 games of the 2014 season.

MLB released a statement Wednesday confirming that they found no violations by Miguel Tejada in connection with the Biogenesis investigation. This is contrary to a report by ESPN's Pedro Gomez earlier this week. Either way, Tejada was recently handed a 105-game suspension for amphetamine use and will have to sit out the first 64 games next season before being eligible to return. It's possible we have seen the last of him in the majors.

Royals transferred INF Miguel Tejada from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Tejada landed on the disabled list over the weekend with a strained right calf. The move essentially ends his season while clearing a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Emilio Bonifacio.

Miguel Tejada will start his fourth consecutive game at second base on Tuesday. Tejada again replaces Chris Getz, who is nursing a sore left knee. The 39-year-old is batting .284 with three homers and 15 RBIs over 116 at-bats and can be used in AL-only leagues when he's in the lineup.

Miguel Tejada went 2-for-2 off the bench and scored the winning run for the Royals against the Tigers on Wednesday. Tejada still isn't playing very much -- this was just his third appearance in June -- even though he's been one of the Royals' most productive players in his limited action. He's batting .333 with two homers in 51 at-bats for the season. Meanwhile, the guys ahead of him at second, third and short on the depth chart have all been terrible of late.
