He tested negative for a concussion, but the shoulder injury sent him to the 10-day injured list anyway; they’ll continue to monitor for concussion symptoms as well.

It was a scary scene as Domínguez stayed face down for several moments before the training staff arrived. It’s a tough break for him, as he had rightfully earned a promotion to the majors with a 138 wRC+ in Triple-A Scranton. He leaves behind a 71 wRC+ in eight games with the Bombers and is expected “in a few weeks ,” but the Yankees can’t offer a timetable at this juncture.

New York Post | Andrew Crane : To take the Martian spot, the Yankees will call up young outfielder Spencer Jones in advance of this weekend’s series in Milwaukee. The slugger, who ranks sixth in MLB Pipeline’s organizational prospects list, currently leads Triple-A with 41 RBI and has 11 home runs and a 143 wRC+ in Scranton. Jones’ role is still unclear, but he will need to prove he can limit the strikeouts at the highest level to secure consistent playing time.

Still, it’s a huge day for him and his family. New York Yankees on SI | Devon Platana: Lost in all the hoopla was the fact that Brendan Beck, the Yankees’ 21st prospect according to MLB Pipeline, made his MLB debut with the team on Thursday. He pitched as a bulk reliever after opener Paul Blackburn and allowed two runs in three innings, with a couple of hits, three walks, and one strikeouts.
