Yankees’ Jasson Domínguez leaves game after crashing into left-field wall catching leadoff drive
· Yahoo Sports
NEW YORK — Yankees left fielder Jasson Domínguez left the game against Texas in a cart after crashing into the wall while catching Brandon Nimmo’s drive leading off the first inning.
Domínguez, playing outfield for the Yankees for the second time this season, ran 81 feet to catch Nimmo’s 101 mph shot. He gloved the ball 375 feet from the plate as his left shoulder hit hard against the video advertising board.

Domínguez’s sunglasses flew off as he fell to the warning track chest first, prompting centerfielder Trent Grisham to come over as manager Aaron Boone jogged out to check on Domínguez along with head athletic trainer Tim Lentych, assistant athletic trainer Jimmy Downam and director of sports medicine and rehabilitation Michael Schuk.
Domínguez cupped his head in his glove and sat up after about a minute. He pointed to his shoulder and craned his neck as he was being examined, then walked to a cart under his own power and was seated as the cart drove away.
Cody Bellinger moved from right to left, Amed Rosario switched from third base to right and Ryan McMahon entered the game at third.
