Do The Yankees Have Different Plans For Dominguez This Season?

Tuesday, February 10, 2026 10:03

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

There are many questions about the Yankees heading into the 2026 season. Now that we have some questions answered about who is playing where….now one of the biggest ones left unanswered is what role does Jasson Dominguez have? Now that the Yankees have a full outfield, everyone has a clear role except Dominguez.

That’s not a fun place to be. It certainly seems to be the Yankees operating model over the years though log jams and insanity is the norm. Now according to a recent report HERE, MLB insider’s believe they have a clear picture on the future of Dominguez. The Yankees aren’t confirming this yet but it makes sense…. Jon Heyman reports that “barring something unforeseen,” Dominguez looks to be destined for a start the 2026 season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

It all makes sense. After the All-Star break last year, at-bats were very few and far between so why not send him down? His development would be better served with regular playing time. Even Brian Cashman said he considered doing it last season but ultimately decided against it.

“He wasn’t playing. I could have sent him to Triple-A,” Cashman said. “I didn’t think that was right to do, either. He provided the chance for us to run into something off the bench, especially with his speed to go along with José Caballero. But I still think there’s some upside there.”

The Yankees had some upside last season with a deeper bench, but his lack of regular playing time didn’t help against left-handed pitching where he batted .186 with one home run and nine RBI’s. Some regular playing time would help him work on some of his deficiencies, especially since he didn’t have much of that in the minors.

“We’re talking about a very, very young player that didn’t play a ton of Minor League baseball,” Aaron Boone said. “And what suffers from that? The side you don’t hit from as much. He’s a natural right-handed hitter, so I don’t think it’s out of the question that at some point the right-handed catches up to the left side.”

I think we saw a lot of red flags last season with Dominguez. He needs time to develop, he’s not ready for a full time big league roll. Until he is, he shouldn’t be a spare piece riding the bench. It does no good for him. If the Yankees intend to keep him he needs to go down and work on fundamentals. He was one the worst left fielders in the league last year. He cannot hit lefties, righthanded. He cannot help the Yankees…..yet.

So I think it is time to go back down, it’s a terrible 23rd belated birthday present but if we are talking about what’s best for him, the minor league demotion is the only right answer.
