Claim 1: “the Yankees kept their perfect recent record going by calling up from Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes-Barre big-time outfield prospect Spencer Jones”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states Spencer Jones was called up from Triple-A to the major league roster. However, multiple independent sources (MiLB.com, Newsday, and another web search result) explicitly state that Jones was promoted from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, not to the major league roster.

Claim 3: “Jasson Domínguez is joining the fine sidelined trio of starters — Rice and Caballero will likely be back soon — after suffering head and shoulder injuries making a spectacular catch on the first play of the Yankees’ latest runaway victory, a 9-2 shellacking of Texas.”
