The New York Yankees have been struggling to start the season. They sit alone in the basement of the American League East, something many fans are not accustomed to.
The team has been plagued by injuries since the beginning of the season. Their most recent injuries have depleted their outfield depth. However, they have depth in the minor leagues, a resource they could turn to at some point this season.

A "high-ranking member" in the organization told broadcaster Michael Kay that they wouldn't be surprised if the prospect was called up sometime this season.
Jasson Dominguez had an exceptional spring training. While he has slowed down in the minors since the season started, he's one player fans wanted to see on the Opening Day roster.
"I've only been saying this needs to happen since last year," one fan tweeted.
"It's about time. I think my grandpa had his rookie card," another fan tweeted.
New York Yankees fans have been waiting for Jasson Dominguez to make an impact at the major league level for some time. Nicknamed "The Martian," he's one of baseball's most-hyped prospects.
Fans are hoping the rumors are true. They'd love to see Dominguez out there with Volpe and the other prospects the team has relied on this season.
New York Yankees need their stars back

The New York Yankees aren't as bad of a team as they seem. Being competitive is tough when they're missing two of their biggest bats in the lineup. The team desperately miss both Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.
Stanton was placed on the 10-day IL over two weeks ago. He could miss up to six weeks with a left hamstring strain.
Judge was placed on the 10-day IL earlier this week with a hip strain. The team isn't concerned with Judge's injury, as he's already working his way back.
The Yankees have been struggling to put up runs without their power duo in the lineup. In the series against the Texas Rangers to end the month of April, they were outscored 24-8. No team can win that many series by scoring a combined eight runs.
Until Judge and Stanton are cleared to return, other players must step it up and produce on offense. Anthony Rizzo and DJ LehMahieu are players capable of getting hot at the plate.
While the Yankees are struggling, plenty of baseball remains to be played.
