Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols hit his 513th career home run in Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. According to MLB Milestones' Twitter account, that moved him into sole possession of 21st place on MLB's all-time home runs list.

Los Angeles Angels skipper Mike Scioscia reached the 1,300-win plateau as a manager with Monday night's victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, per the Angels' official Twitter feed.

Oakland A's outfielder Jonny Gomes was doing an interview on MLB Network's Intentional Talk when he decided to introduce the world to the multitalented Stephen Vogt.

Although the Athletics are paying Vogt to be a utility man, he could probably earn a little bit of extra cash by being an NBA referee in the offseason. Luckily for him, baseball season ends just in time for the NBA season to begin.

Vogt is a true Renaissance man.

The San Diego Padres have reportedly hired A.J. Preller to be their next general manager, ending a six-week search for a replacement following the firing of Josh Byrnes. 

Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal has the news: 

There was a bit of confusion in the Cleveland Indians' Tuesday night game versus the Cincinnati Reds, especially on the part of Indians right fielder David Murphy.

With Murphy on first, Cleveland's Yan Gomes doubled off of the right field wall. During the relay throw back in, an errant ball came flying in from the Reds' bullpen.

A perplexed Murphy rounded third after seeing the extra ball lying in the grass.

The Cincinnati Reds didn't make a move at the 2014 MLB trade deadline, but there were a couple of moves the team should have pushed to make.

Cincinnati was around .500 as the deadline approached, so it was in a bit of a tough spot. The team wasn't in a good enough position to be "buyers," but it certainly wasn't in a position to sell. Plus, the team has two franchise players on the disabled list, so making a blockbuster deal wasn't going to happen.

The Colorado Rockies made headlines when they gave away T-shirts to their fans with Troy Tulowitzki's name misspelled. Apparently, they haven't learned from their mistake. 

Just two weeks later, a Rockies fan pointed out that his collector's cup features Nolan Arenado's name misspelled. 

Just four days after he was released by the Oakland Athletics, the Detroit Tigers have reportedly signed closer Jim Johnson to a minor league contract.   

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported the news on Twitter:

Oakland Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick must believe that rubbing his teammates' beards is only weird if it doesn't work. Now that he found out that it does work, he will probably do it whenever his team needs a rally.

Allen Craig was acquired by the Boston Red Sox prior to the trade deadline, but a bum ankle has limited him to just one game with his new team. It turns out the severity of the injury is enough to keep the outfielder out for a lot longer. 

According to MLB writer Maureen Mullen, Craig will be placed on the 15-day disabled list because of his faulty ankle:
