Cashman Says Jasson Dominguez Unlikely to Get Full-Time Role to Start 2026

The Yankees' fixed outfield alignment alongside a dedicated DH role leaves the 22-year-old short on opportunities.

Overview

  • Brian Cashman said on MLB Network Radio that Dominguez probably will not receive a full-time look unless injuries open a spot.
  • Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge are expected to start in the outfield, with Giancarlo Stanton locked in at designated hitter.
  • Jon Heyman reported the Yankees have shown interest in free-agent outfielders Randal Grichuk and Austin Slater, signaling possible depth additions.
  • Commentary connected that reported interest to speculation that Dominguez could be considered expendable if the right trade offer emerges.
  • Cashman indicated power prospect Spencer Jones will begin the season at Triple-A, reinforcing the current pecking order in the outfield.
