Yankees recall former top prospect Jasson Domínguez amid Giancarlo Stanton injury concerns

Stanton left Friday's game with calf tightness
The New York Yankees have recalled outfielder Jasson Domínguez from the minors, the team announced Monday.

Domínguez will replace starting pitcher Luis Gil on the roster, as the 2024 Rookie of the Year is headed to Triple-A after putting together a 6.05 ERA in four starts.

The call for Domínguez comes just a few days after designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton left Friday's game with right calf tightness.

It's possible Stanton just misses a few more games before returning, or he could need a stint on the injured list.

In the meantime, Domínguez could fill in at DH or one of the outfield spots with Aaron Judge , Trent Grisham or Cody Bellinger serving as the designated hitter.

"I know (Saturday) he felt like it was improved," manager Aaron Boone said of Stanton on Sunday (via MLB.com ).

"I think he also feels like he got in front of it a little bit, so we'll see how it unfolds."
The Yankees lost on Sunday to snap an eight-game winning streak.

They are 18-10, which is good for first place in the AL East.

Even with below-expected outputs from Jazz Chisholm Jr., Austin Wells and the aforementioned Grisham, the Yankees have soared out to one of the best offenses in baseball, with an American League-best +47 run differential.
