The New York Yankees promoted outfielder Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Monday's game against the Texas Rangers.

He's the replacement on the roster for right-hander Luis Gil, who was optioned to Triple-A after taking the loss in Sunday's 7-4 loss at Houston. He's a potential lineup replacement for Giancarlo Stanton, who missed his second straight game Sunday with a calf injury but has not been placed on the injured list.

A product of the Dominican Republic, Dominguez saw extended action for the Yankees in 2025 and produced during Spring Training before New York optioned him to the minors on March 20.

The 23-year-old's 2025 line included a batting average of .257 with a .331 on-base percentage and a .388 slugging percentage over 429 plate appearances. He totaled 47 RBIs, 10 home runs and 23 stolen bases.

Over 22 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this spring, Dominguez notched 13 RBIs and three home runs with a .306 batting average.
