Encarnacion has 401 career home runs, including 18 in 69 games at the new Yankee Stadium.

The Yankees entered Sunday’s games leading the A.L. East despite a long list of injuries. Stanton could return next week after being sidelined by biceps, shoulder and calf injuries, and Judge also is inching closer after he strained his left oblique in April. Both sluggers are on rehabilitation assignments at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Stanton played left field on Saturday and went 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in a 2-0 loss at Durham. Judge was the designated hitter and went 0 for 4. Yankees Manager Aaron Boone said he expected Judge to play in the field on Sunday.

Encarnacion’s arrival means more juggling for the Yankees, who will have a roster full of talented players once everyone returns from the injured list. Last month, they acquired first baseman/D.H. Kendrys Morales from Oakland, but he has struggled.

On Saturday, Gary Sanchez — who is second in the league in home runs with 20 — added three R.B.I. as the Yankees leapfrogged the Rays with their fourth win in 12 games. Torres capped a four-run fourth inning with his 15th home run, a drive to center off Reynaldo Lopez (4-7). He also had a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

White Sox catcher Welington Castillo and Manager Rick Renteria were ejected for arguing balls and strikes in the top of the eighth. James McCann replaced Castillo and hit a three-run homer off Jonathan Holder in the bottom half of the inning to close the deficit to 7-4. But Eloy Jimenez struck out swinging to end the inning, and the Yankees added a run in the ninth when Didi Gregorius walked with the bases loaded.

The Mariners said Then, who has been pitching in extended spring training, will report to Class A Everett. Originally signed by Seattle, he was traded to the Yankees after the 2017 season for pitcher Nick Rumbelow.

The trade continued an overhaul for the Mariners, who traded or let go of many of its big-name players after last season, with Nelson Cruz, Robinson Cano, Edwin Diaz and Jean Segura among them. The new-look Mariners got off to a 13-2 start this season but have since faded into last place in the A.L. West. They recently traded outfielder Jay Bruce to Philadelphia.

INSIDE PITCH

The Yankees improved to 5-0 this year when employing an opener, with Chad Green starting each of those victories. Green, a right-hander, struck out six in two dominant innings against the White Sox. After Green departed, the left-hander Nestor Cortes Jr. (1-0) pitched five-plus innings for his first major league win. He allowed two runs and six hits, struck out seven and walked none. Yankees pitchers finished with 16 strikeouts and no walks.
