Spencer Jones Makes His MLB Debut and Gives Yankees Lineup One More 6-Foot-7 Slugger
Spencer Jones is set to make his major league debut after hitting 11 homers in 33 Triple-A games and filling a power gap in the Yankees lineup.
- On Thursday, the New York Yankees called up prospect Spencer Jones following left fielder Jasson Dominguez's shoulder injury during a 9-2 victory over the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium.
- Dominguez crashed into the wall chasing a drive by Rangers batter Brandon Nimmo in the first inning, sustaining a low-grade AC joint sprain and heading to the injured list for several weeks.
- The Yankees selected Jones out of Vanderbilt with the 25th pick in the 2022 MLB Draft; he has posted a.958 OPS with 11 home runs and 41 RBIs in 33 games for the Triple-A affiliate this season.
- Jones will join the team for the weekend series in Milwaukee, where he and Aaron Judge will become the first MLB teammates on record to both stand 6-foot-7 or taller in a season.
- With Giancarlo Stanton out indefinitely, the Yankees aim to fill a power void while maintaining their 26-12 record, currently tied for the best in MLB.
