The New York Yankees have announced the promotion of outfielder Jasson Domínguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, replacing right-hander Luis Gil, who struggled with a 6.05 ERA in his four starts. Domínguez, a former top prospect, had a solid performance in Triple-A, batting .326 with three home runs and eight steals over 24 games. His call-up comes as designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is dealing with right calf tightness, which could impact his availability. Domínguez's ability to hit right-handed pitching effectively may provide the Yankees with a much-needed boost as they prepare for a three-game series against the Texas Rangers starting Monday. The Yankees will utilize a four-man rotation until May 5, allowing them to adjust their lineup accordingly.
