Domínguez Shifts to Right Field as Wells Returns and Grisham Advances

The Yankees activated catcher Austin Wells after a two-week IL stint for cervical headaches; he went 0-for-2 but felt solid and the club hopes his health helps offset a rough offensive season (50 OPS+ in 47 games). Trent Grisham is progressing from a hamstring injury with agility drills, offering potential depth for the lineup. In Judge’s absence, Jasson Domínguez is being tried in right field, with coaches optimistic about his quick adjustment despite some early misplays. JC Escarra is likely to return soon after a demotion, while Ali Sánchez heads to the paternity list, leaving Escarra to report back; Escarra’s 32-game line stands at .188/.239/.271 as context for his return.

Anthony Volpe's Batting Stance Revamp Pays Off for Yankees.

Yankees rookie shortstop Anthony Volpe changed his stance after reviewing old home run clips with teammate Austin Wells during an off-day hangout. The duo noticed some small adjustments that could be made, and Volpe showed up to Wednesday's game with a more closed-off setup. The changes seemed to have an immediate impact, as Volpe had a two-hit night and felt comfortable at the plate. Despite recent debates over a possible minor league reset, owner Hal Steinbrenner dismissed the idea earlier on Tuesday.
