Social Media Reacts To Dominguez Getting Called Up
Here’s what people were saying about Dominguez:
@Christian_NYYST: “Some quick thoughts: Jasson Dominguez is in the lineup at DH. That’s where he should be every day. The #Yankees playing a man short is crazy. They might be optimistic about Stanton but just sit him down for the 10 days and don’t risk anything. A lot of fans are saying the Yankees are “serious” this year because they sent down Gil. Let’s see how serious they are when Volpe gets back.”
Ryan Garcia: “Jasson Dominguez vs LHP (AAA): .389 AVG .450 OBP .722 SLG% .426 xwOBA 10% K%”
@MVJUDGE99: “JASSON IS BACK! And he’s the DH! He should be playing every damn day. And keep him up in the mlb he deserves it. Win game 1!”
@MikeSalvatore10: “I really hope Jasson Domínguez gets an honest chance to stick with the Yankees for the rest of the season”
