Overview
- Jasson Domínguez left Wednesday’s loss after an 89 mph pitch hit his left elbow, with stadium X-rays described as inconclusive and a CT scan on Thursday set to determine the severity.
- Anthony Volpe finished a 10‑game rehab stint at Double‑A with a .303 average and could be activated as soon as Friday, setting up a shortstop decision after José Caballero’s strong start and Brian Cashman’s earlier plan for Volpe to reclaim the job.
- The Yankees already designated Randal Grichuk for assignment to clear space for Domínguez, and if Domínguez misses time, the team could rotate Aaron Judge, Ben Rice or Amed Rosario at DH while weighing a Spencer Jones call‑up only if absences stretch longer.
- Gerrit Cole’s third rehab start Wednesday for Double‑A Somerset featured 5⅔ innings, no walks and a continued trial of an over‑the‑head windup, with his late‑May or early‑June return target unchanged.
- Carlos Rodón struck out eight over 5⅓ innings in his second rehab start Thursday and may need only one more outing before a mid‑May return, which would bolster a rotation that has excelled without its two frontline arms.
