The New York Yankees have managed to keep the Spencer Jones question on the back burner—until now. With Jasson Dominguez being carted off the field Thursday at Yankee Stadium due to injury, the team may finally have to make a call on their towering outfield prospect.

Jones, the 6-foot-7 slugger, has been tearing it up at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season, posting a .958 OPS with 11 home runs and seven stolen bases. When the Yankees faced earlier injury woes, Dominguez got the call first. But if Dominguez is forced to miss time, Jones’s opportunity might finally arrive.

The timeline remains unclear—the team will need to assess Dominguez’s condition before any roster moves are made. That decision could come Thursday evening or sometime this weekend.

There are other options, of course. With Jose Caballero and Max Schuemann capable of playing the outfield, the Yankees could promote Anthony Volpe to handle infield duties while those two cover the grass. But Jones brings a unique blend of power and defensive reliability—he’s been playing center field for the RailRiders and is considered a solid defender, a contrast to Dominguez’s more bat-first profile.

Jones was always going to get his chance eventually. This injury might just be the catalyst that brings his promotion to the Bronx.
