HOUSTON \u2014 It may only be for a few days, but Jasson Dom\u00ednguez is headed back to the big leagues.<\/p>\n

The Yankees are calling up Dom\u00ednguez from Triple-A, a source confirmed on Sunday, with Giancarlo Stanton likely headed to the injured list ahead of Monday\u2019s series opener against the Rangers in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n

Aaron Boone said before Sunday\u2019s 7-4 loss to the Astros<\/a> at Daikin Park that the Yankees would make a decision on Stanton by Monday after the veteran DH injured his calf Friday night.<\/p>\n

Dom\u00ednguez, who was batting .326 with a .893 OPS at Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre, may only be up for a few days, until Anthony Volpe is ready to return from the IL. The shortstop was expected to need at least a few more rehab games as he finishes off a comeback from October surgery on his left shoulder, though it\u2019s possible he could rejoin the Yankees as soon as Friday\u2019s series opener against the Orioles in The Bronx.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Dom\u00ednguez will likely get some action \u2014 either at DH or in left field \u2014 as the Yankees are scheduled to face a trio of right-handed starters against the Rangers.<\/p>\n

After the Yankees re-signed Cody Bellinger and had Trent Grisham accept a qualifying offer this offseason, Dom\u00ednguez came into camp needing an injury to open a spot for him on the big league roster. That did not happen, but he still had a strong camp and then went to Triple-A and continued to perform. That includes a quality showing against lefties \u2014 against whom he struggled last season \u2014 batting 7-for-18 (.389) with a 1.172 OPS against them.<\/p>\n

Stanton, meanwhile, felt some improvement in his right calf Saturday but still spent the weekend getting treatment, as the Yankees played a man short trying to give him time to see how much he recovered. The Yankees believe they got Stanton out of Friday\u2019s game before it became something more serious, but it was still likely to cost him some time.<\/p>\n

As for Volpe, the plan was for the shortstop to play in a few more rehab games after finishing Sunday 8-for-26 across eight games \u2014 going a full nine innings in the field in two of them \u2014 in what is essentially his spring training.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill working on [timing], still getting there,\u201d Boone said. \u201cIt\u2019s only been two weeks of games. Still getting there, but I know he feels really good and feels ready to contribute too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HOUSTON \u2014 It may only be for a few days, but Jasson Dom\u00ednguez is headed back to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210840,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[34722,22129,20,9,11,10,321,319],"class_list":{"0":"post-210839","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-giancarlo-stanton","9":"tag-jasson-dominguez","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-new-york","12":"tag-new-york-headlines","13":"tag-new-york-news","14":"tag-new-york-yankees","15":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
