Earlier this season, the Yankees called up Jasson Domínguez.
However, he is now on the IL after suffering an injury on May 7.
Yankees PR wrote (on May 8): “Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves: •Recalled RHP Kervin Castro (#74) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. •Placed OF Jasson Domínguez on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder AC joint sprain. •Recalled OF Spencer Jones (#78) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.”
Domínguez (who is 23) has already spent part of four different seasons in the MLB.
He had been batting .200 with six hits, one home run, four RBI’s and three runs in his first nine games of the 2026 season.
In a recent interview with WFAN, Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez spoke highly of Domínguez.
Rodriguez: “Domínguez in center gives you youth, speed and here’s a guy that’s gonna be a future All-Star.”
Those are extremely intriguing words from Rodriguez.
Domínguez is coming off a year where he batted .257 with 98 hits, ten home runs, 47 RBI’s, 58 runs and 23 stolen bases in a career-high 123 games.
He had only appeared in 26 total games in his first two seasons.

The Yankees have a lot depth right now, which is why Dominguez did not initially make the 2026 Opening Day roster.
Once he returns to full health, he will be an intriguing player to watch for New York going forward.
In Triple-A this season, Dominguez is batting .326 with 30 hits, three home runs, 15 RBI’s, 15 runs and eight stolen bases in 24 games.
