Yankees reportedly calling up top prospect Spencer Jones with Jasson Domínguez out
CBS Sports • • general
Key Points:
- New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez was injured after colliding with the outfield wall making a catch against the Texas Rangers and will miss a few weeks due to a minor AC sprain in his left shoulder, also undergoing concussion protocol with negative initial results.
- Domínguez was carted off the field but was able to walk to the cart under his own power; he had recently been recalled from Triple-A following other team injuries and was batting .200/.250/.367 in nine games with the Yankees this season.
- In Domínguez's absence, the Yankees plan to call up outfield prospect Spencer Jones, a power hitter currently on a hot streak in Triple-A with 11 home runs in 33 games, despite a high strikeout rate.
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed optimism about Jones' potential contribution and confirmed the team will monitor Domínguez's concussion symptoms while he recovers on the injured list.
