Dominguez, 21, was in the Yankees' starting lineup Monday, playing center field and batting sixth. Manager Aaron Boone said he will play "a lot" as the Yankees continue battling the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East title.
The Yankees' decision to not promote the switch-hitter known as The Martian on Sept. 1 was surprising to outsiders. A significant swath of the fanbase reacted with furor.
Boone gave two primary reasons: injuries and a desire to give Verdugo more time to rebound. Verdugo gave the team "the best chance to win."
