Stanton led the American league with 37 home runs last season. - - - After going 1-for-1 with three RBIs in two plate appearances, including a two-run homer and a sacrifice fly, Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz left Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies at Fenway Park with right calf tightness. His status is considered day to day. - - - The New York Yankees recalled right-hander Nick Goody from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Goody has a 2.70 ERA over 3 1/3 innings with the Yankees this season. - - - The Milwaukee Brewers reinstated right-hander Tyler Cravy from the 15-day disabled list. He had been on the DL since Aug. 19 with a right elbow injury. - - - Boston Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval was out of the starting lineup for a third straight game with back tightness. - - - Houston Astros right-hander Scott Feldman did not respond well to a throwing session Saturday, prompting team officials to schedule a meeting to discuss the next course of action.

He could miss more than one turn in the rotation. - - - The Texas Rangers recalled right-hander Tanner Scheppers from Triple-A Round Rock.
