Yankees made important Jasson Dominguez decision.
The New York Yankees made a key decision on slugger Jasson Dominguez ahead of Saturday’s game.
Dominguez left Wednesday’s game after being hit by a pitch, and he had to undergo further tests to see if an IL stint was needed. However, after not being in the lineup on Friday, Dominguez is back in the lineup on Saturday, batting sixth and playing DH.
The Yankees’ lineup ahead of their home game against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday is as follows:
- T. Grisham CF
- B. Rice 1B
- A. Judge RF
- C. Bellinger LF
- J. Chisholm Jr. 2B
- J. Domínguez DH
- J. Escarra C
- R. McMahon 3B
- J. Caballero SS
Dominguez being back in the lineup is huge, as manager Aaron Boone announced on Friday that the CT scans came back clean.
“Aaron Boone said Jasson Dominguez’s CT scan came back clean. He was already doing some baseball activities before Boone spoke, the manager hopes to have him available off the bench,” Yankees insider Gary Phillips wrote on X.
Dominguez was available off the bench on Friday but wasn’t expected to play due to a left-hander being on the mound.
Dominguez is hitting .111 in 9 at-bats since being recalled. In Triple-A this season, he’s hitting .326 with 3 home runs and 15 RBIs, while last year in the Bronx, he hit .257 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs in 123 games.
