Outfielder Jasson Domínguez was optioned to Triple-A Scranton by New York Yankees

The Yankees prioritized regular playing time for Domínguez in Triple-A as they keep Aaron Judge, Trent Grisham, and Cody Bellinger as top outfielders for 2026.

  • On Friday, the New York Yankees optioned outfielder Jasson Dominguez to Triple-A Scranton, removing the prospect from the Opening Day roster due to roster constraints.
  • With Aaron Judge, Trent Grisham, and Cody Bellinger locked into primary outfield roles and Giancarlo Stanton as designated hitter, the New York Yankees had no immediate spot for the 23-year-old prospect.
  • Despite battering.325 with three home runs during spring training, Dominguez struggled against left-handed pitchers last year, managing a.204 average and.569 OPS in 104 plate appearances.
  • General manager Brian Cashman emphasized that everyday repetitions in the minor leagues best serve Dominguez's development, with the New York Yankees likely adding veteran Randal Grichuk to the Opening Day roster.
  • The New York Yankees view Dominguez as a significant part of their long-term future despite his 2023 UCL injury, positioning the Triple-A assignment as a developmental step rather than a setback.
