After pitching the final two innings Monday night, Yankees reliever David Hale was designated for assignment. He's being replaced by now former Nationals righty A.J. Cole, who was traded to New York on Monday in exchange for cash considerations. Cole is being added to the 25-man roster. Hale struck out three and allowed three hits in his solid relief outing.

The Bronx Bombers lived up to their nickname Monday night, as every player in the starting lineup reached base. Only Brett Gardner (two walks) failed to get a hit. Aaron Judge launched a deep double. Giancarlo Stanton went 4-for-4 (his first four-hit game as a Yankee) with a long homer. Didi Gregorius hit a grand slam. Tyler Austin homered. So did Miguel Andújar. And 21-year-old 2B Gleyber Torres, playing in just his second major-league game, got his first career hit. That leadoff single kicked off a six-run eighth that helped the Yankees cruise to a 14-1 win over the Twins.

At 10:20 p.m. ET on April 23, 2018, young Yankees 2B Gleyber Torres had his first major-league hit. A single up the middle at the Stadium, he lined a 1-2 slider off Twins reliever Tyler Kinley. As he ran up the first-base line, Torres gave a little fist pump.

With his fifth-inning homer tonight, Giancarlo Stanton now has his first multi-hit game since he had three hits in the Yankees' win at Boston 12 days ago. This is his fifth multi-hit game of the season.

Carlos Carrasco joins Rick Porcello and Luis Severino as the AL's only four-game winners, as the Indians topped the Orioles 2-1. Cleveland has won nine of 12 to take hold of the AL Central. Meanwhile, Baltimore is 12 games out of first with a week left in April, which is no small feat.

In the seventh inning at Camden Yards, Kevin Gausman struck out the side on nine pitches to record MLB's first immaculate inning of the season. Despite a sharp outing (8 IP, 4 H, 7 K), Gausman left the game with the Orioles trailing 2-1 to Cleveland. The lack of production has been a recurring theme for the O's, who are averaging 3.2 runs per game, worst in the AL.

White Sox OF Avisail Garcia is coming out of the game against Seattle with a leg injury. He was trying to run out an infield hit and pulled up about 15 feet from the first place bag. He had to be helped off the field.

The White Sox were outscored 27-2 during a three-game series this weekend against the Astros. Tonight in the first game of a three-game set against the Mariners, Chicago already has three runs on the board with one out in the first. Think the Sox were happy to see Houston leave town?
