Yankees’ Rising Star Jasson Domínguez Sent Down to Triple-A: What’s Behind the Surprising Move?
Domínguez’s place on the roster may have been decided when the Yankees signed outfielder Randal Grichuk just over a week into the Grapefruit League schedule. Grichuk hasn’t yet won a major-league roster spot, but is a better fit for the bench as a .268/.318/.500 hitter versus left-handed pitching.

Meanwhile, Domínguez has a .530 career OPS against lefties. But even if he hit them well, the Yankees prefer that Domínguez play every day in Triple-A rather than platoon in the majors.
