Late Friday afternoon, the Yankees optioned former super-prospect Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, among a flurry of roster moves. Once the Yankees signed Randal Grichuk as their fourth outfielder this move seemed inevitable. Even before that, it seemed unlikely El Marciano would start the season in the majors, given the Yanks’ need for a right-handed hitting outfielder and Jasson’s struggles from that side of the plate.

Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves: •Reassigned C Ali Sánchez, C Payton Henry and OF Kenedy Corona to minor league camp. •Optioned RHP Kervin Castro, RHP Yerry de los Santos and OF Jasson Domínguez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. — Yankees PR Dept.

(@YankeesPR) March 20, 2026 He’s not the only player being moved out as Opening Day nears. Kenedy Corona, who had himself a nice camp with a couple home runs and a keen eye at the plate, is headed to minor league camp, along with a couple other folks, and a couple others join Domínguez heading to Triple-A. But the story here is obviously The Martian.
