NEW YORK — Jasson Dom\u00ednguez<\/a> was driven off the field in a medical cart after crashing into the left-field fence while making an exceptional catch on the first play of Thursday\u2019s game against the Rangers at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

Dom\u00ednguez took a sharp route on Brandon Nimmo\u2019s leadoff fly ball facing Yanks starter Paul Blackburn, snaring the drive before his back crashed into the chain-link covering on the digital scoreboard.<\/p>\n

The Yankees said Dom\u00ednguez was examined by team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad at Yankee Stadium and underwent an initial concussion assessment. He has been placed in concussion protocol and will continue to be monitored and evaluated over the next several days.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Dom\u00ednguez is undergoing an MRI on his left shoulder at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital.<\/p>\n

Jarred by the collision, Dom\u00ednguez remained down for several moments, receiving attention from head athletic trainer Tim Lentych. The crowd cheered as Dom\u00ednguez rose to his feet; he shook his head as he was guided toward the seat of the medical cart, which disappeared out a service gate in left-center field.<\/p>\n

Dom\u00ednguez has worked extensively to improve his defense, with scouts seeing improvement this spring and early in the season with Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre. Dom\u00ednguez has been used as a designated hitter in seven games since being promoted from the Minors; Thursday marked his second game this year in the outfield.<\/p>\n

Before Thursday\u2019s game, manager Aaron Boone offered a positive evaluation of Dom\u00ednguez\u2019s defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s continued to get a little bit better all the time,\u201d Boone said. \u201cHe\u2019s still got a ways to go there to reach his potential out there, because he is so athletic. But he has worked hard at it, and I feel like he definitely has continued to move the needle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amed Rosario moved from third base to right field following Dom\u00ednguez\u2019s exit, with Cody Bellinger shifting from right field to left field. Ryan McMahon entered the game at third base, leaving the Yanks with a short bench for the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Ben Rice (left hand contusion) and Jos\u00e9 Caballero (left elbow contusion) are both nursing injuries, leaving catcher Austin Wells as the only remaining healthy option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK — Jasson Dom\u00ednguez was driven off the field in a medical cart after crashing into the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25812,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[2520,8,2012,768,9,7],"class_list":{"0":"post-25811","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-top-stories","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-major-league-baseball","11":"tag-mlb","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@news\/116534897930116646","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25811"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25811\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25811"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
