Yankees To Recall Spencer Jones

"Domínguez departed today's game after crashing into the wall to make a catch. He was examined by the medical staff for a while before being carted off the field. After the game, manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Domínguez will be heading to the injured list and will miss a few weeks. He has tested negative for a concussion thus far but has a low-grade AC sprain in his left shoulder."

"It's an unfortunate setback for Domínguez. He came into this season without a great path to playing time. The Yanks had an outfield consisting of Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham. The designated hitter spot was filled by Giancarlo Stanton. Moving Bellinger to first base wasn't an option with and Paul Goldschmidt sharing that spot."

"Domínguez was called up about two weeks ago when Stanton was sidelined by a calf strain, opening up some at-bats. Rice has also missed the past four games due to a hand contusion. Even though Rice isn't expected to hit the IL, that also somewhat softened the clog which was blocking Domínguez. Now Domínguez himself will be sidelined and therefore unable to take advantage of the openings."

"Perhaps there will still be playing time available for him when he gets back but that will depend how long he is out and what happens with the other guys in the interim. The Yankees are going to call up outfield prospect Spencer Jones, reports Francys Romero of BeisbolFR. That will apparently be the corresponding move for fellow outfielder Jasson Domínguez heading to the injured list."

Jasson Domínguez left a game after crashing into the wall while making a catch. Medical staff examined him before he was carted off the field. After the game, manager Aaron Boone said Domínguez will head to the injured list and miss a few weeks. He has tested negative for a concussion so far, but has a low-grade AC sprain in his left shoulder. Domínguez’s setback comes after limited playing-time opportunities early in the season. He was called up about two weeks earlier when Giancarlo Stanton was sidelined by a calf strain, and other absences also opened at-bats. With Domínguez now sidelined, his chance to use those openings depends on his recovery timeline and what happens with other outfielders in the interim. Spencer Jones is expected to be the corresponding roster move.
