Brian Cashman recently addressed the situation surrounding Jasson Dominguez in an effort to clarify that he does not yet have a guaranteed roster spot with the New York Yankees<\/a> to begin the 2026 season and could potentially be headed to Triple-A.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would concede it\u2019s in his best interest to be getting everyday reps. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see how the spring shakes out, who\u2019s standing and then we\u2019ll make the appropriate decisions when we have our meetings close to the end of camp,\u201d Cashman said.<\/p>\n

What Cashman<\/a> is essentially saying is that Dominguez needs more plate appearances. With the Yankees\u2019 current roster construction, it is highly unlikely he would get the consistent opportunities he needs at the major-league level. Triple-A could provide that rhythm at the plate, although it remains unclear whether he would spend the entire season away from the majors.<\/p>\n

Dominguez the fourth outfielder<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Dom\u00ednguez does not have a locked-in role in the Yankees\u2019 outfield. Trent Grisham, who recently signed a new $22 million contract, appears to have a secure spot. That makes it unlikely Dom\u00ednguez would receive just two or three reps per week in the majors.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the \u2018Jasson Dominguez can\u2019t field\u2019 narrative is lazy. We know he can\u2019t field in left, but that\u2019s not his NATURAL POSITION. He needs to be put in his proper position to make an evaluation on his true talent level. Until then, we\u2019ll never know,\u201d Brandon Furtado of What\u2019s the Scoop (@brandonfurtado8) wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Cashman was reluctant to send Dom\u00ednguez to Triple-A last season, but the situation is different now,even though no final decision has been made. Last season, Dom\u00ednguez hit .257, his second-best year so far with the Yankees, appearing in 123 games with 429 plate appearances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian Cashman recently addressed the situation surrounding Jasson Dominguez in an effort to clarify that he does not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":571299,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2376],"tags":[5,3936,4,1690,62,2548,2547,142],"class_list":{"0":"post-571630","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york-yankees","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-brian-cashman","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-yankees","13":"tag-newyork","14":"tag-newyorkyankees","15":"tag-yankees"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116067439679449930","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
