During the same game, recently recalled outfielder Jasson Dominguez misplayed a Dustin Harris single, allowing the runner to reach third base. Though the team prevented any runs from scoring on the play, the error prompted calls from fans to return Dominguez to the minor leagues. Dominguez has struggled to maintain consistency at the major league level throughout the 2026 season, batting.229 with a.647 OPS across 54 appearances. He previously appeared in 123 games for the team during the 2025 campaign.
