Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz spit some chew into a bottle at his locker, then dipped into the latest notice from baseball.

Big leaguers are now getting a written reminder that smokeless tobacco is banned at stadiums in Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

One-page letters are being put in clubhouse stalls throughout spring training, where there is no prohibition. The notes come jointly from Major League Baseball and the players union.

So, will Buchholz quit?

“That’ll probably happen,” he said. “If you get reprimanded for something, there comes a time where you’re tired of paying fines for something you don’t have to do or doesn’t make you any better.”

Local laws will prohibit the use of all tobacco products at Fenway Park, Dodger Stadium and AT&T Park this year, meaning players, team personnel, umpires and fans.

Rangers: Yu Darvish was free and easy when throwing off a full-sized mound for the first time since elbow surgery last spring.

The ace said what mattered most to the Texas Rangers: He’s pitching without any pain.

“Good, very good,” Darvish said through his interpreter after the scheduled 15-pitch session Monday.

The last time Darvish had thrown off a full mound was one inning in a Cactus League game March 5, when he experienced tightness in his right elbow. He had Tommy John surgery 12 days later.

The 29-year-old Darvish was 39-25 with a 3.27 ERA and 680 strikeouts in 83 starts for Texas from 2012-14.

Indians: The navy blue Indians uniform wasn’t the only thing Juan Uribe wore as he walked around the team’s spring training complex for the first time. He also sported a wide grin.

Uribe finally finalized a $4 million, one-year contract with Cleveland on Sunday and was thrilled to have the opportunity to start his 16th season in the majors.

White Sox: Chicago outfielder Adam Eaton apologized for a tweet he posted during the Academy Awards telecast.

While host Chris Rock was making his opening monologue Sunday night, Eaton tweeted why “does it always have to be about black and white? (hash)American”

Rock’s comments referred to the lack of black nominees at the Oscars, and Eaton said his intention was to discuss equality. Some Twitter followers took offense.

“I feel terrible,” Eaton said. “I mean no harm and I apologize. “

Mets: New York right fielder Curtis Granderson was sent to an eye doctor as a precaution after arriving to the team’s facility with redness in one of his eyes.

Granderson missed Monday’s workout. Mets manager Terry Collins said Granderson’s eye was pretty red and that the team was concerned about the possibility the three-time All-Star might have conjunctivitis and be contagious.
