The Yankees wrote (on August 3): “Following tonight’s game, the Yankees optioned RHP Angel Chivilli, OF Jasson Domínguez and INF Anthony Volpe to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.”
To make room on the Triple-A roster, the Yankees then demoted Cole Gabrielson back to Double-A.

Domínguez (who is 23) has already spent part of four seasons at the MLB level.
He is batting .230 with 46 hits, six home runs, 14 RBIs, 21 runs and seven stolen bases in 53 games this year.
