Well, Jasson Dominguez<\/a>‘s return to the New York Yankees<\/a> lasted all of two games before an injury occurred, as he was hit on the elbow during the team’s loss to the Texas Rangers<\/a> on Wednesday and is now facing a potential IL stint.<\/p>\n

The Yankees just designated Randal Grichuk<\/a> for assignment, and while they could bring him back, it’s not exactly an exciting option. Max Schuemann<\/a> is currently on the roster, but he doesn’t inspire much confidence, either.<\/p>\n

So why not do what they should have done before recalling Dominguez and finally promote Spencer Jones to the big leagues?<\/p>\n

Yes, Jones is still striking out, having fanned 37 times over 110 plate appearances. But he is slashing .242\/.364\/.538 with seven home runs and 30 RBI in 26 games.<\/p>\n

It’s also worth noting that Jones’ strikeout rate has decreased considerably over the last couple of weeks, and he is absolutely tearing the cover off the ball.<\/p>\n

Also, unlike Dominguez, Jones is actually a good defender. While Dominguez did play left field on Wednesday, no one feels comfortable with him out there. Jones, on the other hand, is a defensive wiz who can give Aaron Judge<\/a> some days off, and Aaron Boone can rest easy in the process.<\/p>\n
