However, after not being in the lineup on Friday, Dominguez is back in the lineup on Saturday, batting sixth and playing DH.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees\u2019 lineup ahead of their home game against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>T. Grisham CF<\/li>\n<li>B. Rice 1B<\/li>\n<li>A. Judge RF<\/li>\n<li>C. Bellinger LF<\/li>\n<li>J. Chisholm Jr. 2B<\/li>\n<li>J. Dom\u00ednguez DH<\/li>\n<li>J. Escarra C<\/li>\n<li>R. McMahon 3B<\/li>\n<li>J. Caballero SS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dominguez being back in the lineup is huge, as manager Aaron Boone announced on Friday that the CT scans came back clean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAaron Boone said Jasson Dominguez\u2019s CT scan came back clean. He was already doing some baseball activities before Boone spoke, the manager hopes to have him available off the bench,\u201d Yankees insider Gary Phillips\u00a0wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez was available off the bench on Friday but wasn\u2019t expected to play due to a left-hander being on the mound.<\/p>\n<p>Dominguez\u00a0is hitting .111 in 9 at-bats since being recalled. In Triple-A this season, he\u2019s hitting .326 with 3 home runs and 15 RBIs, while last year in the Bronx, he hit .257 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs in 123 games.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Fans React to Dominguez Back in Lineup<\/h2>\n<p>Dominguez being back in the lineup is positive news for Yankees fans.<\/p>\n<p>The young slugger is expected to be an impactful hitter for the Yankees this season, and fans are glad the injury wasn\u2019t serious.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cYay Dominguez is back!,\u201d a fan wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cJASSON IS BACK,\u201d a fan added.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Martian is back,\u201d a fan wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dominguez will get plenty of runway with the Yankees with Giancarlo Stanton on the IL. And, with Trent Grisham struggling, Dominguez could earn more playing time.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cJasson Dominguez is launching a home run today,\u201d a fan added.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThat lineup is stacked with power and athleticism, especially in the middle with Judge, Bellinger, and Chisholm. If Grisham and Dom\u00ednguez get on base ahead of them, that top-to-middle stretch can flip a game fast. Weathers on the mound is going to need early command because there\u2019s no easy inning there,\u201d a fan wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI hope Jasson crushes it twice today and hits a triple,\u201d a fan wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Yankees signed Dominguez as an International Free Agent in 2019.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>New York Looking for Second-Straight Win<\/h2>\n<p>The Yankees are looking to win the second game of their four-game series against the Orioles.<\/p>\n<p>In the series opener, Will Warren was stellar as he went 6.1 innings, allowing 2 runs (one earned) on 3 hits and 1 walk and striking out 9 batters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou say Warren is the guy we haven\u2019t talked about,\u201d Boone said postgame. \u201cThe body of work starting with Spring Training has been excellent \u2014 over and over again. \u2026 It just built up in Spring Training. It just carried into the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe stuff has been excellent. The strike-throwing is there. He was in command. You see all the swings and misses. He did a great job using the sinker in combination with using the four-seamer. The sweeper looked good. He mixed in the changeup well. Just another really strong performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.sportingnews.com\/styles\/crop_style_16_9_desktop_webp\/s3\/2026-03\/USATSI_26938723.jpg.webp?itok=S4qlzIqs\" alt=\"Yankees call-up Jasson Dominguez amidst Stanton injury | Sporting News\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Yankees cruised to a 7-2 win and improved to 21-11.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL, MLB, Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns for Heavy.com.
