The Yankees gave Jasson Domínguez the initial left field work this spring, and so far, the results have been unstable.
The switch batter broke a skate of 0 by 15 with a two-run single in Saturday’s 8-4 victory over the giants.
He added a single in the painting in the seventh, and both successes came from the left side, where Domínguez has been solid through his young race.
But it has almost been a black hole from the right side: 1 by 20 with a double, four walks, seven strikeouts and an OPS of .340 in 25 appearances on the plate this year.
And the numbers have never been good from that side of the plate.
“I felt this spring, his right -handed swing and his improved movement and should [continue to] Advance, “said Aaron Boone before the game.” I feel that he is not doing some of his best right -handed movements in the last two games. Part of that faces [Detroit ace lefty Tarik] Skubal and some difficult customers. The reality is that you can really hit, and that is my expectation for him. “
Maybe Saturday was a positive sign.
Domínguez said he is working on his leg with the coaches of blows to arrive on time with his swing.
“I just have to reduce speed,” Domínguez said.
Devin Williams, leaving a bad exit in Detroit, where it could be closed, fresh and a double to open the ninth before recovering to get the next three batters.
“It’s a bit difficult for him, and then obviously, he walks and hits [Saturday] And it does not collapse, “Boone said about the closest acquired in an exchange of Milwaukee in the low season.” He simply says: “Ok, I’m very good in this.” He launched and leaves the runners stranded. It was a very good execution. For him to have his back against the wall immediately and not Flinch and the answer was good to see. “
Williams has allowed at least one base corridor in his five outputs and has not been well seen.
“Let’s look for Ange, and he’s going to shoot,” Boone said.
Boone said Jonathan Loáisiga launched her first live batting practice on Saturday while rehabilitating Ucl surgery last April.
It is expected that at the end of May or June. Hey faced DJ Lemahieu, who is still ready to go to Tampa to get more batters to the team in the team complex that addresses a rehabilitation task at some point in next week.
Ben Rice has 13 hits this season, seven for additional bases.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. struggles from the end of the opening home do not show signs of deceleration.
After starting the year with four home runs in six games, Chisholm entered Saturday 2, 28 with a pair of doubles and a strikeout boxes in its previous seven games.
Clearly uncomfortable in cold temperatures in Pittsburgh, Detroit and, more recently, Bronx, Chisholm also made an error on Saturday that led to a couple of unwanted races.
It was also 0 by 3 with a walk.
