Yankees Want Everyday Reps for Jasson Dominguez
The New York Yankees want to give outfielder Jasson Dominguez everyday reps, but they might not be able to offer that at the major-league level to begin the 2026 season, according to general manager Brian Cashman. It means that Dominguez could begin the year at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 23-year-old Dominican switch-hitter lost his path to regular playing time last year when the team brought back Trent Grisham to play center field and Cody Bellinger to play left field. Aaron Judge is locked into right field, so Dominguez won't have a clear path to consistent playing time in the majors unless there's an injury to one of those three outfielders or designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton. Oswaldo Cabrera could beat Dominguez out for the last bench spot. Dominguez, who is known as the Martian, is loaded with talent and possesses speed, but his defensive limitations make it challenging for the Yankees to justify carrying him as a bench player. He slashed .257/.331/.388 with 10 homers and 23 steals in 123 regular-season games last year. Dominguez is one injury away from being very attractive in fantasy in 2026.
