Hi Betsy On the corners of most sinks there are holes to put your washing machine discharge water hose in the water bypasses the sink .
I just checked ours and it would not matter if the machine was on the left or right these holes are there. If you did not want to save this water then this might be an alternative to stop splashing. Also there is a plastic hanger which goes over the hose and hangs on the top of the sink if you adjust the length of the hose hanging into the sink and if possible put it closer to the bottom it might stop splashing also. Let us know please what worked for you. In summer I have 2 lengths of drain hose from the washing machine running out on to the lawn when water restrictions are in play.
