Goins has just nine at-bats since being recalled at the beginning of September.

Four of Goins' at-bats this month came in his one start Sept. 11 versus Boston. The infielder struck out three times in that game and has five strikeouts in his nine at-bats since returning to the Jays. With Toronto's season hanging in the balance, it's very unlikely that Goins will be afforded another start this year.

Miller went 1-for-3 with a two-run double and run in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Red Sox.

The slugging infielder continues to serve as an RBI machine, with the pair of runs he drove in Saturday getting him to 80 on the season. Miller plated Curt Casali and Kevin Kiermaier with his third-inning two-bagger, erasing an early 1-0 deficit. He now has a five-game hit streak, as well as 15 RBI overall in September.

Martinez went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Royals.

The slugging outfielder brought home Cameron Maybin with both of his run-scoring hits, plating him to tie the score at 1-1 in the third and then driving him in to extend the Tigers' lead to 4-2 in the sixth. Martinez has three RBI over the last two games and is now hitting .269 (21-for-78) with three doubles, two homers and 11 RBI in September.

Miller went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers as the Rays were pounded by the Yankees, 14-4.

The solo shots give Miller his first 30 homer season of his career. It's a gigantic surge in power for Miller, who had only 29 career home runs in three seasons entering 2016, although each of those was with the Mariners. Miller has also struck out a career-high 140 times this year, a sign of a different approach at the plate for the 26-year-old shortstop turned first baseman.

Miller went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI triple in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees.

He opened the scoring on the night with a third-inning shot to deep center, plating Logan Forsythe and Evan Longoria. The three-bagger was notably Miller's sixth of the season, although his first in September. The 26-year-old is struggling overall this month as evidenced by a .154/.222/.338 line, but has career highs in virtually every major offensive category except for batting average in 2016.

Cabrera became the 100th player in MLB history to get 2,500 career hits when he ripped a single in the third inning of Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Cabrera is just the eighth hitter to get his 2,500 hit in his age-33 season. He joins Hank Aaron, Ty Cobb, ARod, Robin Young, Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx and Rogers Hornsby in that exclusive club. The hit came after Miggy was plunked on the right hand by Bauer in the first inning. "Sore, very sore," was Miggy's description after the game, The Detroit News reports. He was seen flexing it throughout the game, but Monday's rest day may be just what the doctor ordered.

Canha (hip) will begin swinging off a tee Tuesday, John Hickey of the Bay Area News Group reports.

Hip surgery ended Canha's season in May. This news, however, indicates that he is on pace for a return come spring training next season, when his ability to play both the outfield and first base should allow him to contend for a roster spot in Oakland once again.

Buxton is hitting sixth in Sunday's lineup against the Mets, the LaVelle Neal III of the Star Tribune reports. He went 2-for-5 with his seventh home run in Saturday's extra-inning loss.

Buxton continues his hot September with his sixth home run of the month. He's hitting .333 with a 1.141 OPS in' September. He's hit ninth most of the year, so his move up the order shows the Twins may have confidence he's finally turned the corner in the majors after struggling before September.

Vogelbach didn't start Saturday even though a right-hander was on the mound because the Mariners don't want to "overexpose" him, the Seattle Times reports.

With Adam Lind out (finger), Vogelbach figured to start, but instead Dae-Ho Lee started at first. Vogelbach, who was called up last week, struck out three times Friday. He has one hit in 10 at-bats with five strikeouts and no walks. He'll likely go to spring training next season competing for a platoon job at first base.

Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in Saturday's 1-0 loss to the Indians.

The perennial All-Star was the only Tigers hitter to notch multiple hits, as eight Indians relievers teamed up to neutralize the lineup after Carlos Carrasco was forced from the game with a hand injury after just two pitches. Cabrera now has four multihit efforts and five home runs in September.
