The New York Yankees remain mum on whether or not outfielder Jasson Domínguez will be one of the team's two call-ups when Major League Baseball's rosters expand from 26 to 28 players come Sunday, September 1. 

"I don't know. We'll see," Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters (including The Athletic's Chris Kirschner) on Friday ahead of New York's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. "We haven't made that decision, so I don't know."

Domínguez, 21, performed well during an eight-game debut stretch last season before suffering an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. He batted .258/.303/.677 (157 OPS+) with four home runs and seven runs batted in. Domínguez returned to game action in May, but missed additional time because of an oblique injury that sidelined him for more than a month. In 48 total minor-league games this season, he's batted .309/.366/.489 with eight home runs and 27 runs batted in across three levels.
