HOUSTON – It may only be for a few days, but Jasson Domínguez is headed back to the big leagues.
The Yankees are calling up Domínguez from Triple-A, noti.group’s Joel Sherman confirmed on Sunday, with Giancarlo Stanton likely headed to the injured list ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Rangers in Arlington, Tex.
Aaron Boone had said before Sunday’s 7-4 loss to the Astros at Daikin Park that the Yankees would make a decision on Stanton by Monday after the veteran DH injured his calf on Friday night.
Domínguez, who was batting .326 with a .893 OPS at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, may only be up for a few days until Anthony Volpe is ready to return from the IL.
The shortstop was expected to need at least a few more rehab games this week as he finishes off a comeback from October surgery on his left shoulder, though it’s possible he could rejoin the Yankees as soon as Friday’s series opener against the Orioles in The Bronx.
In the meantime, Domínguez will likely get some action – either at DH or in left field – as the Yankees are scheduled to face a trio of right-handed starters against the Rangers.
