On one hand, Dominguez’s return is exciting. On the other, it presents manager Aaron Boone with a pleasant challenge. The Yankees presently boast a formidable outfield trio in Judge, Soto, and Verdugo. Now, with Giancarlo Stanton likely occupying the DH role, a logjam for playing time could emerge. Another possibility is a platoon situation between Dominguez and Verdugo, that would allow both players to display their talents and keep opposing pitchers confused.
The come back of Jasson Dominguez is one that goes beyond just a simple roster addition. It poses a dose of excitement and youthful energy in the Bronx. His potential to develop into a seasoned player alongside powerful names like of Judge and Soto has fans dreaming of a championship. While fans might have to wait for ‘The Martian’ to come back to pinstripes, the wait is only “a few weeks”.
