Fantasy Impact: Dominguez was sent down after the acquisition of outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants prior to Monday’s trade deadline.

Fantasy Impact: Lombard Jr. joins the big league club after impressing to this point in the minors, posting a .909 OPS with 12 home runs, 14 stolen bases, and 33 RBI with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The club’s top prospect will look to offer manager Aaron Boone another impactful bat in a Yankees lineup missing key contributors Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Cody Bellinger. In a corresponding move, Anthony Volpe was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

David Bednar allowed one walk while striking out one over 1 1/3 scoreless innings to earn the save in a 2-1 win over the Cubs.
