Yankees Call Up Outfielder Spencer Jones After Jasson Domínguez Injury

Domínguez crashed into the outfield wall while making a catch in the first inning of the team’s 9-2 victory. He was filling in for an injured Giancarlo Stanton and left the field on a cart.

An MRI showed a sprain in the AC joint in Domínguez’s left shoulder, resulting in his placement on the injured list. Jones, listed as the Yankees’ No. 6 prospect on MLB Pipeline, has hit 11 home runs and leads Triple-A with 41 RBIs this season.

The 24-year-old had 46 strikeouts through his first 33 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Jones’ girlfriend, Ava O’Connor, shared a message on her Instagram Story that included the MLB breaking news post. “Let’s go baby!

The most deserving incredible man. ” O’Connor wrote, adding a fire flame emoji and a blue heart. The promotion will allow Jones to make his major league debut Friday in the start of the Yankees’ three-game series against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

nypost.com reported that the team’s manager cited consistent at-bats in recent weeks when discussing the decision after Thursday’s game. “Feel like the last three, four weeks, been having a lot of consistent at-bats,” the manager said according to the report. “The power’s been there.

Less swing and miss. ” Jones had been playing in Triple-A as recently as September 2025, when photos with O’Connor were taken while he was with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
