The Yankees called up 20-year-old outfielder Jasson Domínguez and 24-year-old catcher Austin Wells when rosters expanded Friday night, and they both had debuts to remember. In their first MLB plate appearances, they both got hits. The last Yankee to hit a home run in his first MLB plate appearance was Aaron Judge. He did not play minor league baseball until 2021 because the 2020 minor league season was canceled due to COVID-19. Wells, the team’s eighth-rated prospect, was the Yankees’ first-round selection in the 2020 MLB Draft.
