Goins is out of the lineup Thursday against the Rangers, Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star reports.
Hitting just .155 on the season, Goins is a last-ditch option in the deepest of leagues. Darwin Barney will start at the keystone Thursday, and since he can't possibly be worse than Goins offensively, he could start to steal more playing time going forward while Devon Travis (shoulder) is out.
