Jasson Domínguez will miss the rest of the season and a chunk of next season as well with a right UCL tear.
While Florial technically broke camp with the Yankees this spring — he was used on Opening Day as a pinch runner — it was a short-lived opportunity with the big-league club, something he’s undoubtedly grown accustomed to over the years. The Yankeestwo days later. He ended up passing through waivers untouched, returning to the RailRiders where he’s remained for the last five-plus months.
There were several points this season where Florial was leapfrogged on the Yankees’ depth chart by other outfielders. Outfielders like Willie Calhoun, Billy McKinney, Jake Bauers, Franchy Cordero, Greg Allen and more were promoted and handed playing time while Florial continued to rake in the minors.
With 19 games remaining in the regular season, it behooves the Yankees to use Florial daily. It’ll still be a small sample, but they’ll be able to get a glimpse of how he’s developed as a hitter, seeing if he can handle big-league pitching. The pop from the left side has always been there — along with his other tools as a speedster and quality defender — but the 25-year-old has yet to prove he can cut down on his strikeout rate and put the ball in play more often.
