Yankees Face Uncertainty as Jasson Domínguez Adjusts to Left Field Role

The 22-year-old prospect struggles defensively in spring training, raising questions about his readiness for Opening Day.

Jasson Domínguez, transitioning from center field to left field, has faced defensive challenges during spring training games.
Domínguez failed to make two notable plays this week, including a misjudged deep drive against the Phillies and a sun-lost fly ball against the Tigers.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone has emphasized patience, describing Domínguez as a tremendous athlete with potential but needing time to adjust defensively.
The Yankees are relying on Domínguez to fill the left field position after letting Alex Verdugo leave in free agency, with limited backup options available if he struggles.
Some analysts suggest Domínguez might benefit from starting the season in Triple-A to refine his defensive skills before returning to the majors.
