After an especially painful season in the batter's box for Dan Uggla, the Atlanta Braves have released the struggling second baseman.

The team's official Twitter account confirmed the news:

Agnes McKee may not be a big baseball fan, but the San Diego Padres have invited her to throw out the first pitch—in honor of her birthday—before their game on July 20.

At 105 years old, McKee will become the oldest person to ever throw out the first pitch at a Padres game.

McKee has been busy as she prepares for her big moment Sunday. She has been practicing her throwing for months, and she has even spent time learning some of the Padres players' names.

On Friday night, the Philadelphia Phillies begin their second half in the National League East cellar with a 42-53 record. General manager Ruben Amaro has several assets who will be very valuable in trades, including left-handed pitcher Cliff Lee. 

Derek Jeter was the biggest storyline of the 2014 MLB All-Star Game. After all, it was the New York Yankees shortstop's 14th and final All-Star game of his 20-year career.

Given the situation, it's hard to fathom how CBS News made a glaring mistake when tweeting out a story about Jeter. It was just an honest mistake, but with all of the attention that Jeter has received leading up to the game, it's pretty funny.

Twitter went wild with the mistake:

The 2014 MLB All-Star Game marks the final time Derek Jeter will play in the Midsummer Classic, so all eyes were on the New York Yankees shortstop on Tuesday night.

It's no secret that Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu has burst onto the scene, but the rate at which he's threatening first-year player records still comes as a bit of a surprise.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner earned a piece of history Sunday, becoming just the second pitcher in MLB history to hit two grand slams in a season, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Derek Jeter will play in his final MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday night at Target Field, so it's only fitting that Jordan Brand has created a pair of cleats that reflect back on the New York Yankees shortstop's previous All-Star experiences.

Oakland A's catcher Derek Norris made the All-Star Game for the first time in his young career in 2014, but he didn't get all of the perks of being an All-Star in Minnesota.
