Yankees Test Jasson Domínguez in Right Field During Triple‑A Rehab

The club is evaluating whether his right‑field work and strong minor‑league outing justify a promotion to cover Aaron Judge, reshuffle the corners, or keep Spencer Jones on the big league roster.

Overview

  • Domínguez, who played right field for Triple‑A Scranton/Wilkes‑Barre on Tuesday, went 3‑for‑3 with a homer, a walk, two RBIs and a stolen base in a rehab game.
  • He is on a rehab assignment returning from an AC‑joint shoulder sprain and has only a small big‑league sample this season.
  • Manager Aaron Boone gave a noncommittal update, saying “we’ll see” about adding Domínguez to the active roster when the rehab stint ends.
  • The Yankees are weighing his right‑field trial and strong exit‑velocity and hard‑hit metrics against the risk to his shoulder and the recent emergence of Spencer Jones.
  • Possible roster moves include promoting Domínguez and shifting Cody Bellinger to a different corner or keeping Jones in the majors, a choice that will shape New York’s outfield alignment while Judge remains sidelined.
