Overview

  • Manager Aaron Boone said he expects Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones to have significant impact for the club this season.
  • GM Brian Cashman noted there is no clear everyday outfield spot right now, though he emphasized that circumstances can change quickly and decisions will come at the end of camp.
  • Aaron Judge, Trent Grisham and Cody Bellinger project as the starting outfield with Giancarlo Stanton at designated hitter, limiting immediate at-bats for the prospects.
  • The Yankees added Randal Grichuk on a minor league deal as a right-handed bench option, further tightening the competition for roster spots.
  • Dominguez is off to a .417/.429/.833 start with a homer, and Jones has three home runs with a .300/.417/1.200 line this spring, yet media consensus still points to Triple-A for regular playing time to open the season.
