The New York Yankees are making some roster moves to their outfield. Jasson Dominguez<\/a> is being place on the IL and the team is calling up their #6 overall prospect Spencer Jones<\/a> to the big leagues. Freelance reporter Francys Romero<\/a> was the first to report the news of the call up.<\/p>\n

May 7, 2026; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees left fielder Jasson Dominguez (24) makes a catch against the wall on a fly ball by Texas Rangers designated hitter Brandon Nimmo (not pictured) during the first inning at Yankee Stadium. Dominguez was injured on the play and taken out of the game. Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Right before Dominguez crashed into the wall, manager Aaron Boone told the media that “I think he\u2019s continued to get a little bit better all the time. He\u2019s still got a ways to go there to reach his potential out there, because he is so athletic. But he has worked hard at it, and I feel like he definitely has continued to move the needle.\u201d So, clearly, that spectacular catch he made on the warning track is a testament to a lot of hard work behind the scenes for the 23 year-old former top prospect.<\/span><\/p>\n
