Yankees' Jasson Domnguez leaves game after crashing into left-field wall
catching leadoff drive
NEW YORK (AP) --- New York Yankees left fielder Jasson Domnguez left
Thursday's game against Texas in a cart after crashing into the wall while
catching Brandon Nimmo's drive leading off the first inning.
He went to NewYork-Presbyterian hospital for an MRI of his left shoulder and
was put into Major League Baseball's concussion protocol.
Domnguez, 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 shoulder hit hard against the video advertising board.
Domnguez'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 Domnguez along with head athletic trainer Tim Lentych,
assistant athletic trainer Jimmy Downam and director of sports medicine and
rehabilitation Michael Schuk.
Domnguez 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.
