Yankees MILB 8/17: Jasson Dominguez: 2 Hits, SB

News:

Nothing


Scranton (68-49) (Lost to Buffalo, 9-1)

3B Jorbit Vivas0-for-4
2B Caleb Durbin0-for-3, SB (23), BB, K
For Scranton: .299/.416/.469 in 259 PA (23-for-25 SB). Durbin will be in the mix for a 2025 job, and his ability to make contact (his swinging strike percentage is elite), steal bases, and play anywhere helps his profile. Is he an everyday MLB player for the Yankees? That question is not easily answered. He doesn’t need to be an everyday starter to be useful.
LF Jasson Dominguez2-for-3, SB (8), BB, K
Dominguez has multiple hits in two of his last three games and has four stolen bases in his last four games. This was his second consecutive start in LF.
1B T.J. Rumfield0-for-4, 3 K
C Carlos Narvaez0-for-3, BB, 2 K
His 2025 role depends on how the Yankees view him: Do they think he is ready to be a #2 catcher? Or do they like him in the role of a #3 catcher? Remember that Kyle Higashioka dealt with this for a while (2017-2019) before settling into an MLB backup role.
