Worth noting

Eric Sogard broke out of his offensive slump on Sunday with his first hit since May 9, but he left the 13-3 win over Cleveland early, after fouling a ball off his knee in the seventh inning.

Melvin said Sogard would be evaluated before Tuesday's series opener against Tampa Bay, but getting Sogard out of the game was precautionary.

"He fouled that ball off his knee, so I got him out of there," Melvin said. "[It's a] contusion, so we'll see how it is."
