Yankees playing with their World Series dreams by not promoting Jasson Domínguez

02.09.2024 - 17:21 foxnews.com

NEW YORK — The Yankees' announcement for their September call-ups arrived at 10:21 a.m. local time on Sunday. Not wasting a moment, reporters and thousands of fans alike scanned the listed names, looking for one Jasson Domínguez, the prospect in the minor leagues who could perhaps make the most impact for a playoff contender.

He wasn't listed. We looked again, this time closer. Still not there. Huh? The Yankees opted to call up light-hitting speedster and outfielder Duke Ellis over the slugging Domínguez, who will remain at Triple-A where he's batting .306 with a .828 OPS, five home runs and 14 stolen bases across 37 games this year.

Domínguez has been heating up since returning from an oblique injury, batting .359 with three home runs over the past two weeks for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The decision to leave the switch-hitting outfielder in the minor leagues is an organizational mistake that doesn't just anger the fan base but insults those expecting the Yankees to do one simple thing: field the best team possible.

I Used To Respond To Pressure In Past, But Now Want To Play With Smile On Face: R Ashwin

Ravichandran Ashwin on Friday said he has liberated himself from the clutches of external and internal pressure, and now he is just looking to play cricket "with a smile on face." Ashwin made a back-on-the-wall hundred on the first day of the opening Test here against Bangladesh to rescue India from a precarious 144 for six in the company of an equally resolute Ravindra Jadeja. The 38-year-old leveraged on that innings to drive home the point that he now only responds to pressure situations on a cricket field, unlike in the past when he reacted to every needle-point.
