Yankees experiment with Jasson Domínguez in right field during rehab
Summary

The New York Yankees have started testing Jasson Domínguez in right field during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Initially a center fielder, Domínguez is filling in as Aaron Judge is sidelined with a fractured rib. Manager Aaron Boone noted Domínguez has reported comfort in the position. He performed well in a recent game, going 3 for 3 with a home run while batting entirely from the right side. The Yankees have not confirmed whether Domínguez will join the active roster after his rehab, especially with performance from Spencer Jones to consider. Domínguez previously played only one professional game in right field before this trial period.
