Goins was designated for assignment Monday.

The White Sox will swap in Yolmer Sanchez for Goins as the team's bench infielder going forward. Goins was 0-for-9 with one strikeout in his time with the big club.

Ohtani will sit Monday against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Ohtani continues to fill a full-time role as the Angels' near-everyday designated hitter despite numbers that suggest he's not worthy of the job, as he's hitting just .188/.277/.381. The team knows he's capable of far better, however, as he hit .286/.351/.532 in his first two seasons in the league, and there's little reason for them not to let him hit his way out of his slump, as they sit last in the American League with a record of 12-23. Justin Upton starts in his place Monday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Stanton (hamstring) did not participate in baseball activities Sunday and is "still not all the way there," Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports.

Stanton has been on the injured list since Aug. 9. General manager Brian Cashman suggested Friday that the slugger was at least a week away, but it's reasonable to hold off on any expectations of Stanton returning at the early end of that timeframe given Boone's comments Sunday. "He's still not all the way there," Boone said. "Doing well. Good progressions and stuff. Today's a very light day for him. No baseball activities. But he's not all the way out of the woods yet as far as the injury. But he is running at about 75-80 percent. Hitting and doing all that stuff is not a problem yet. We just want to make sure we get him to the finish line with the injury."

Torrens was traded from the Padres to the Mariners on Sunday as part of a seven-player trade, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Torrens was recalled from the Padres' alternate training site in the middle of August and went 3-for-11 with a double and two strikeouts over seven games. He could compete for playing time with the major-league club in Seattle after the Mariners included Austin Nola as part of Sunday's trade.

Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

Ohtani walked in the first inning and notched his fifth stolen base of the season in quick succession. He later added a single in the third. Through 27 games, the 26-year-old is slashing .181/.277/.381 with five homers, 18 RBI and 15 runs scored to go with his five steals.

Lewis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels.

Lewis opened the scoring with his solo shot off Angels starter Griffin Canning in the seventh inning. In the 10th, Lewis came around to score on a Tim Lopes single after starting the inning on second base. The 25-year-old Lewis is slashing .339/.430/.543 with eight homers, 21 RBI, 29 runs scored and two stolen bases through 35 games this season.

Martinez (hand) underwent X-rays that came back negative, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.

Martinez was hit by a pitch on his left hand and forced out of Sunday's contest, but he appears to have avoided a major injury. Manager Ron Roenicke said after the game that Martinez is currently day-to-day.

Martinez left Sunday's win against the Nationals after getting hit by a pitch on his left hand, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Martinez was removed from the game in the bottom of the eighth inning immediately after he suffered his hand injury. The severity of the issue is unclear. Martinez went 1-for-4 with one strikeout prior to suffering the injury.

Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Twins.

Cabrera's fifth home run of the season was a big one, as he took Tyler Duffey deep in the fifth inning with a runner on to break a 2-2 tie, and the Tigers held on for the 4-2 win. The 37-year-old has a six-game hitting streak and has gone a combined 10-for-21 during that time, so his bat is definitely showing some signs of life after a slow start to the season.

Ohtani went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, stolen base and run scored in Friday's victory versus the Mariners.

Ohtani helped manufacture the Angels' first run in the sixth inning, working a leadoff walk and stealing second base before coming home on a two-out ground-rule double. The 26-year-old is hitting only .188 this season, but he has contributed five homers, 16 RBI and four steals.
