"Look, he's still very much in play," Boone said before Monday night's game against the Rangers. "Just because it didn't happen on September 1st doesn't mean it won't at some point." This emphasizes that Jasson Dominguez remains a top prospect for the Yankees, signaling future opportunities despite not being called up immediately.
Regarding Alex Verdugo, Boone stated, "I think he's been excellent defensively. I think he's in the Gold Glove conversation. He's been that good." This reflects the management's continued confidence in Verdugo's defensive skills, despite his inconsistent batting performance this season.
Boone described Dominguez's recent performance, saying, "He's been mostly successful at the plate since coming off the injured list... hitting .307 with nine homers and an .857 OPS in 52 minor-league games." This illustrates Dominguez's offensive readiness to contribute at the major league level.
One evaluator mentioned, "Did not defend as well as I have seen in the past," suggesting Dominguez's defensive skills have not met prior expectations, thus influencing the Yankees' decision to keep him in the minors for now.
