Overview
- The Athletic’s Brendan Kuty and Chris Kirschner project Domínguez to start 2026 with Triple-A Scranton if the big-league roster remains healthy.
- GM Brian Cashman said everyday reps would be best for Domínguez and emphasized that roster decisions will come after the full spring.
- In early Grapefruit League action, Domínguez struck out in two right-side at-bats versus lefties after doubling off a right-hander, and Aaron Boone attributed the right-handed gap to limited experience.
- With Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham locked into the outfield, the Yankees have scant bench fit for a reserve who still needs right-handed production and steadier defense.
- Oswaldo Cabrera’s Opening Day status is still to be determined, and the club remains open to adding a right-handed outfielder or catcher, reinforcing the case for Domínguez to get regular Triple-A at-bats.
