Dominugez will play in center field and hit sixth Monday against the Kansas City Royals.<\/p>\n<h2>Yankees Recall Top Prospect Jasson Dom\u00ednguez<\/h2>\n<p>Dom\u00ednguez, 21, made his MLB debut a year ago. He appeared in eight games as the Yankees center fielder before he tore his UCL and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/baseball\/2023\/09\/11\/yankees-injury-woes-continue\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">required Tommy John surgery<\/a>. Dom\u00ednguez was healthy to return from the injured list in June, but spent time in Triple-A instead of the active roster. The Yankees wanted to give their top prospect regular reps with Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n<p>The recent call-up doesn&#8217;t mean Dom\u00ednguez will take over playing time from Alex Verdugo. The Yankees only managed six runs in the three game series against the Chicago Cubs. However, New York needs the offense now if they want to keep up with the Orioles for the AL East title.<\/p>\n<p>Verdugo, 28, was acquried from the Boston Red Sox this past offseason. He is hitting .239\/.295\/.359 in 137 games. That includes his .302\/.333\/.326 batting line over the past two weeks. In 44 Triple-A games, Dom\u00ednguez was hitting .314\/.376\/.504 with 11 home runs and 16 stolen bases. Although, Dom\u00ednguez was already promoted this season and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. The Yankees have 19 games remaining and hold a half-game lead over the Orioles.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo: \u00a9 Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees begin a crucial series against the Kansas City Royals.
