Yankees make decision on Jasson Dominguez.

The New York Yankees will have Jasson Dominguez available off the bench on Friday.

Dominguez exited Wednesday’s game with a left elbow contusion following a hit-by-pitch. At the time, the Yankees said Dominguez would have to undergo more tests, but the hope was that it wouldn’t be serious.

Ahead of the Yankees’ series opener against the Baltimore Orioles, manager Aaron Boone announced Dominguez is available off the bench and won’t need an IL stint.

“Aaron Boone said Jasson Dominguez’s CT scan came back clean. He was already doing some baseball activities before Boone spoke, the manager hopes to have him available off the bench,” Yankees insider Gary Phillips wrote on X.

Dominguez wasn’t expected to be in the lineup on Friday anyway, as the Orioles are starting left-hander Cade Povich. Yet, it is good news that the outfielder is available to pinch-hit if needed. If he’s not needed, there is a good chance Dominguez will be back in the lineup on Saturday.

Dominguez is hitting .111 in 9 at-bats since being recalled. In Triple-A this season, he’s hitting .326 with 3 home runs and 15 RBIs, while last year in the Bronx, he hit .257 with 10 home runs and 47 RBIs in 123 games.

More to come.
