Goins is being listed as day-to-day with a bruised left forearm after X-rays didn't reveal any broken bones, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is welcomed news for Goins, who was writhing in pain after getting spiked in Wednesday's game, forcing him to exit in the sixth inning. While he didn't rule out playing Thursday, the Blue Jays will wait and see how he's doing before making a decision. If he is forced to miss any action, Rob Refsnyder and Darwin Barney would likely hold down the middle of Toronto's infield.

Goins was prematurely lifted from Wednesday's game against the Rays with a forearm injury.

EDGE Analysis

Goins was removed after he was spiked in the left forearm while attempting to steal second base in the sixth inning. The severity of the injury is unclear at this point, but he looked to be in serious pain as he walked off the field with a trainer. More should be known once he is further evaluated following the conclusion of Wednesday's contest. Darwin Barney moved over to shortstop to fill in for him, while Rob Refsnyder came on to play second base.

Goins is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Goins will head to the bench for a breather after starting six straight games at shortstop, slashing .190/.261/.286 over that span. Darwin Barney will start in his place, batting ninth.

Goins is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Goins has a modest seven-game hitting streak going, but he'll take a seat for the second time in five games. Darwin Barney will man shortstop while Rob Refsnyder takes over second base.

Goins was bumped up the batting order and will hit sixth Sunday in Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Goins has logged 89 percent of his at-bats this season hitting in the bottom third of the order, but a recent hot streak earned the shortstop a spot in the middle of the lineup Sunday. Over Goins' last 10 games, he's gone 11-for-37 (.297) with four extra-base hits and eight RBI.

Goins went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 16-7 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was his first since May 24 and fifth of the year, tying his previous career high. Goins should continue seeing regular at-bats at least through the rest of August with Devon Travis (knee) and Troy Tulowitzki (ankle) both out of action, but don't expect much production from the light-hitting shortstop with a career .597 OPS.

Goins is out of the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Goins has started in 12 of Toronto's previous 13 contests, and will head to the bench for a typical day off. In his place, Darwin Barney takes over at short while Rob Refsnyder draws the start at the keystone.

Goins is out of the lineup Monday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Since Devon Travis (knee) hit the disabled list, Goins has settled into the strong side of a platoon at second base with Darwin Barney. It will be Goins' turn to sit out Monday with the Red Sox starting a lefty in Eduardo Rodriguez.

Goins is not in Saturday's lineup against Houston, as Darwin Barney will instead get the start at second base.

EDGE Analysis

Goins has struggled since taking on the bulk of work at second base for Devon Travis (knee). His lackluster .207 batting average through 193 at-bats has Goins at risk of losing playing time if Barney can put together a solid string of games.

Goins went 0-for-3, dropping his average to a dismal .207, in Friday's loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Goins hasn't made the most of his opportunities since taking over the bulk of work at second base for Devon Travis (knee). He hit just .192 over 52 at-bats in June, and has struck out nine times in his last seven games. Darwin Barney, his top competition, hasn't fared much better this season (.237), but it wouldn't be surprising to see manager John Gibbons test his hand without Goins in a routine role after the break.
