    Jasson Domínguez went 1-for-5 with three strikeouts against the White Sox in Thursday’s loss.

    The one hit would have been a triple in a scoreless game leading off the sixth, but Domínguez badly overslid the bag at third, despite it not being a close play, and was tagged out. He was credited with a double, but it probably would have been a better day for him if he had just struck out again instead. He’s hitting .226/.268/.340 in 56 plate appearances during the second half.

    With Aaron Judge’s return going well, and Spencer Jones lapping him in the playing time order, the Yankees simply don’t have a spot for Dominguez right now. The 23-year-old has hit .225/.267/.368 in 222 plate appearances in the bigs with six homers and eight stolen bases. He may eventually wind up being a reclamation project elsewhere with Judge, Jones, and Cody Bellinger ahead of him on the depth chart.

    It might only be a short stay with the Yankees for Domínguez with Aaron Judge (rib) presumably getting close to returning after taking on-field batting practice on Friday. The 23-year-old former top prospect gets another look in the big leagues with Trent Grisham landing on the shelf with a hamstring strain. He’s the type of talent that fantasy managers can never completely dismiss, but his odds of making a fantasy impact down the home stretch are extremely low.
  • NYY Right Fielder #24
    Domínguez became expendable for New York after picking up corner outfielder Heliot Ramos from the Giants at the trade deadline. The 23-year-old former top prospect heads back to the minors with Spencer Jones remaining up with the big club.
  • SF Left Fielder #17
    Left-hander Henry LaLane will be part of the return, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. This doesn’t seem great for Ramos. He might play regularly for now, but if things work out for the Yankees, he’ll finish the season starting primarily against lefties. It’ll be interesting to see if the team sends down Jasson Domínguez here (assuming he’s not in the trade) or maybe gives up on Amed Rosario. Ramos’s departure will leave the Giants even more punchless for now, but as a bad defensive corner outfielder probably best utilized as a DH, he didn’t seem like a long-term fit alongside Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge.

    Anthony Volpe then singled in Domínguez to make it 2-0. Domínguez also went 1-for-4 with a walk in game one. He’s not embarrassing himself in hitting .232/.270/.394 in 164 plate appearances, but he’s still not showing much in the way of upside at the plate, and it’s hard to say what the Yankees could realistically expect to get for him if they make him available at the deadline.

    Domínguez was solely responsible for the Yankees only run against Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers’ bullpen in this one. He smoked a double to right-center in the fourth inning that Andy Pages bobbled, which let Domínguez get to third. Then, Dalton Rushing let a forkball clank off his glove and Domínguez scampered home on the pass ball. He’s played everyday for a month straight and has four home runs and six stolen bases despite a lowly .679 OPS over his last 30 games.
  • NYY Designated Hitter #24
    Dominguez took a Zack Littell sinker out to right-center field to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning, then singled and scored in the ninth inning on Jazz Chisholm’s homer. The 23-year-old is now hitting .346/.393/.615 in his last seven games with two homers and a stolen base. He’s not exactly a must-roster at this point, but he’s a talented player getting a real chance with Aaron Judge out, and he may be getting hot at the right time.
  • NYY Designated Hitter #24
    Domínguez’s homer, his fourth in 108 plate appearances this season, would have been a double most days, but this was still a really nice game, as he delivered hard-hit balls all five times up. He entered the day 3-for-21 with no extra-base hits in his last six games. With Spencer Jones going back to Triple-A, Domínguez seems set to play pretty regularly until Aaron Judge returns. He hasn’t offered much mixed-league value yet, but he still might for a spell.
  • NYY 2nd Baseman #13
    Chisholm took the brunt of the collision when Domínguez ran through him while attempting to field a pop-up in shallow right field, making contact with his head. It appeared Domínguez either didn’t call him off or Chisholm didn’t hear the call in time. The 28-year-old second baseman was able to walk off the field under his own power and didn’t lose consciousness on the play. He’ll undergo evaluation for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status following the contest.
  • NYY Designated Hitter #24
    The Yankees struggled to muster any offense against Payton Tolle and the Red Sox’s bullpen in this one. They wound up with just three total hits and the only two that went for extra-bases – Domínguez’s double and another from Anthony Volpe – came after Tolle left the game. Regardless, Domínguez has hit safely in four straight games and is not only an everyday player for the Yankees right now, but consistently in prominent spots in their lineup.

    Ryan Thompson struck out two in a hitless inning for Triple-A Ren on Sunday.

    Thompson is about ready to return from a strained back, but he’s ineligible to do so because of the decision to move him to the 60-day IL at the beginning of the month. He won’t be able to come off the IL until the postseason, and it doesn’t currently look like the Diamondbacks will be taking part.

    Nelson Rada went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two walks as Triple-A Salt Lake’s left fielder on Sunday.

    If the Angels still have high hopes for the 21-year-old Rada, they’re not really showing it while batting him sixth and playing him in a corner in Triple-A. He ends the year at .278/.376/.362 with three homers and 43 steals. It’s a lot more difficult to imagine him making it in the majors as a platoon starter against righties if he’s not a center fielder.

    Charlie Condon had a three-run homer and a bases-loaded walk Sunday for Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Rockies fans were robbed of a Condon callup by the horrible decision to not trade but extend Mickey Moniak in August. Condon ends the year with a .273/.390/.514 line, 27 homers and 98 RBI in 130 games for Albuquerque. He still might have a chance to make the Rockies out of spring training, but that Moniak belongs at DH and isn’t going anywhere won’t help matters.

    Hyeseong Kim went 0-for-4 on Sunday to conclude the Triple-A season with a .262/.330/.345 line in 85 games.

    Oklahoma City will be in the PCL championship, so Kim isn’t done for the year just yet. Still, his regular season is done. He had a .794 OPS in 37 Triple-A games and a .699 OPS in 71 major league games last year, but he’s at .674 in Triple-A and .651 in 43 major league games this season. He’ll likely enter the final guaranteed season of his three-year, $12.5 million contract out of the Dodgers’ plans. They’ll probably be willing to take on a portion of the $5.25 million he’s still owed if someone else wants to give him a chance.

    Cooper Ingle doubled twice and scored twice for Triple-A Columbus on Sunday.

    Ingle’s introduction to the majors in June couldn’t have gone much worse, but he ends the Triple-A season with a fantastic .297/.424/.528 line and 20 homers in 471 plate appearances. That .952 OPS leads all qualified International League hitters, Ingle did go back to catching in the minors after being looked at a left fielder and DH during his brief time in the majors. It doesn’t seem like he has a future behind the plate in Cleveland, but his bat should make him of some use next year.

    Enrique Bradfield Jr. homered and tripled for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

    Bradfield ended up playing in 88 games for Norfolk and hitting .262/.352/.363 with four homers and 36 steals. Durability remains an issue for the 2023 first-round pick, and his lack of exit velocity makes him look like a low-ceiling offensive prospect. Still, he plays a mean center field and is a force on the basepaths. The Orioles will almost certainly have to add him to the 40-man this winter, even if he doesn’t project as a quality regular at this point.

    Hunter Barco allowed only an unearned run over five innings for Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.

    He struck out two. Expectations were that we’d be seeing quite a bit more of Barco in the majors this season, especially after he opened the year on the Pirates’ active roster, but he was sent down after four appearances in April and made just three more over the course of the season. In Triple-A, he ended up with a 3.79 ERA and an 80/41 K/BB over 14 starts and seven relief appearances. He’s gone from looking like a potential fourth or fifth starter to more of a middle relief guy now.

    Jhostynxon Garcia hit his 10th homer Sunday for Indianapolis to finish the Triple-A season with a .271/.334/.454 line.

    Neither the Pirates nor the Red Sox got what they wanted from the García-Johan Oviedo swap in year one. Garcia did spend a little time int he majors, but he went 8-for-48 with no homers and a 16/1 K/BB. With Esmerlyn Valdez having overtaken hm as a right-handed corner outfield option, his future is rather cloudy right now.

    Joe Jiménez averaged 92.2 mph with his fastball in his third and final appearance with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

    He allowed a run in two-thirds of an inning. Jiménez hasn’t pitched for the Braves since 2024 because of knee troubles. He’s giving it a go now, but it remains to be seen if Atlanta will activate him. His velocity is down about two mph from where he was two years ago.

    Robert Suarez tossed a scoreless inning for Triple-A Gwinnett in his rehab appearance Sunday.

    Suarez, out since late June with a forearm strain, averaged 96.9 mph with his four fastballs, down about two mph from his season average of 98.8 mph. Sunday’s game was Gwinnett’s last of the season, so Suarez will not be able to make any additional appearances before coming off the IL.
