Cashman: Verdugo over Dominguez gives Yanks 'best chance to win'

CHICAGO -- The New York Yankees have some work to do, general manager Brian Cashman said. At least for now, Jasson Domínguez is going to do his work in the minors.

New York is competing with the Baltimore Orioles for the AL East lead, and Domínguez, 21, is one of the team's top prospects. But Domínguez is playing for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre while Alex Verdugo remains in left field with the Yankees.

"Jasson's doing everything he needs to do right now, and Verdugo's playing obviously better baseball recently," Cashman said before Friday's 3-0 victory at the Chicago Cubs.
