Got a few tidbits to pass along today. Not much yet with regard to the hot stove, but there are a few things Yankees-related that have happened in recent days. Let’s get to it.
An update on Yankees in LIDOM
Domingo Germán pitched in his first professional game since his suspension for domestic violence began at the end of the 2019 season. He contributed four no-hit innings with seven strikeouts in Toros del Este’s combined no-hitter in its season opener. We still haven’t heard anything about Germán’s future with the Yankees other than Hal Steinbrenner’s words last month.
Hal Steinbrenner on Domingo Germán: "There's no doubt he has to prove he's turned his life around and that he absolutely realizes how horrific that was."

(The details of the incident that led to Germán's suspension under the league domestic violence policy are not public.)
For whatever it’s worth, I found it interesting that Germán wasn’t listed on the following YES graphic yesterday:

Not sure if that means anything. Anyway, let’s move on to other players in the organization down in the DR.
