The New York Yankees recalled outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday and also placed infielder DJ LeMahieu (hip) on the 10-day injured list with a right-hip impingement. The Yankees also reinstated infielder Jon Berti (calf) from the 60-day IL and designated left-hander Anthony Misiewicz for assignment. Dominguez, the club's top prospect, is starting in center field on Monday and is batting sixth against Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer in the Bronx. The Yankees recently said that the 21-year-old wouldn't come back to the big leagues unless he was going to play regularly, so the Martian should play every day down the stretch for the Bombers. Injuries have been the story of his 2024 season after he recovered from Tommy John surgery, but now that Dominguez is in majors to stay, he should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said it's still "very much in play" that outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez gets called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. "Frankly, there's probably no one higher on Jasson Dominguez than me. He's very much in the mix, but we're not ready to make that move yet," Boone said. Dominguez was not one of the players that the Yankees called up when rosters expanded on Sunday, although the 21-year-old they call the Martian is still an option to join the Bombers down the stretch. He should be rostered in most fantasy leagues since he could make an immediate impact in all categories if he comes up and sees regular playing time, but he's also running out of time to make noise in fantasy. The Dominican switch-hitter has been injured in 2024 but has been excellent at Triple-A when healthy, slashing .298/.354/.457 with five homers, 18 RBI and 14 steals in 38 games.

The New York Yankees did not call up top prospect Jasson Dominguez to the big leagues with rosters expanding on Sunday, Sept. 1. Instead, the Yankees activated first baseman Anthony Rizzo (forearm) from the 60-day injured list and recalled right-handers Ron Marinaccio and Scott Effross and outfielder Duke Ellis from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. It's disappointing for fantasy managers in single-year leagues that have been stashing the Martian, but it doesn't mean the 21-year-old won't join the Yankees at some point this month. He was called up as the 27th man for a game earlier this month and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. When New York calls the Dominican outfielder up, they want to have an everyday role for him. Injuries have limited Dominguez to only 37 games at Triple-A this year, but he's been excellent when healthy, hitting .306/.359/.469 with five homers, 18 RBI and 14 stolen bases.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said the team has not yet decided if it will promote top outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez when rosters expand on Sunday. Dominguez was slashing .299/.351/.453 with four home runs and 17 RBI through 34 contests with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre entering action on Friday. "We'll see," Boone said. "He's certainly one of those guys that will be in conversation for that. I feel like he's doing a good job after being a little slow coming back from the [left oblique] injury. I feel like he's been stringing together some days of good work and good at-bats. He's definitely a name in consideration." The 21-year-old came up for one game as the 27th man for a doubleheader on Aug. 18 and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts before being sent back down. It would be a surprise if Dominguez weren't called up, but he also wouldn't be guaranteed regular playing time.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez recorded a four-hit night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. It was his second four-hit performance at Triple-A this season, bringing his slash line with the RailRiders to .305/.365/.438. Dominguez was called up briefly as the 27th man on Sunday for the Yankees but returned to the minors. He wasted little time ramping back up his hitting with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 21-year-old switch hitter has battled injury this season but is beginning to round into form as he seeks a late-season call-up to New York.
