New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez appeared to have gotten caught napping on the basepaths against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
Like Dobbins, the Red Sox as a whole are trending in the right direction. Saturday’s win brought them back to .500 and back in the mix in the AL East. Once all of Boston’s pitchers are healthy, having Dobbins in the organization as a reliable extra arm wherever Cora needs him will be handy late in the season.

Dobbins didn’t take the bait postgame and pile on the Yankees after beating them twice. But he has become something of a young breakout star for the Red Sox this season and somewhat quietly has a 4-1 record and 3.74 ERA in 55 ⅓ innings in his first taste of big league action.

Alex Bregman popped out of the dugout at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, long before the Red Sox played the Yankees. He was accompanied by strength and conditioning coach Kiyoshi Momose and they went right to work on the outfield grass behind second base.

Chapman pitched the final two games in New York over the weekend, saving both games, then went for a third straight day in the 10th inning of Monday’s loss to the Rays. He didn’t pitch Tuesday (Weissert got the save in that one) but closed out Wednesday’s win, then threw 14 pitches Friday. That was likely his limit entering Saturday.
