Around the Empire: Yankees news - 9/12/23

New York Post | Greg Joyce: With the devastating news that Jasson Domínguez has a torn UCL, the Yankees called up outfield prospect Estevan Florial. Many fans had called for Florial’s promotion throughout the year, as the 25-year-old has had a strong Triple-A season, running a .945 OPS with 28 homers and 25 steals (albeit in 35 attempts) in 101 games. Major questions remain about Florial’s ability to make enough contact in the bigs, but he should get a shot at addressing those concerns in these final, mostly meaningless* weeks.

*Even while rained out last night, the Yankees’ 2023 season suffered another embarrassing blow as they were officially eliminated from the AL East with just under three weeks to go.
