New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman addressed the team's plan for promising young outfielder Jasson Dominguez.
Jasson Dominguez, who is also known as "the Martian," has dealt with two major injuries since last September, which has kept him out of the big-leagues in 2024.
As a result, Dominguez did not get back into game action until beginning a rehab assignment with the Single-A Tampa Tarpons on May 14. After hitting well across three different levels in the minors, the Yankees activated Dominguez from the IL on June 12 and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The good news is that he is now healthy and back to playing regularly in Triple-A. But it doesn't look like there is any room on the Yankees' big-league roster for the exciting young slugger at the moment. “He’s healthy. Ultimately, the injuries this year prevented him from getting much of a bulk of performance," Cashman told MLB Network Radio. "He’s definitely sitting there waiting in the wings if need be, playing mostly in centerfield. I think we’re going to get him over in left. He’s done multiple positions in his career. He’s just waiting in the wings, hungry and waiting to see if he gets his chance. It’s nice to know he’s available to us if need be.
