Spencer Jones is finally headed to the majors.
The New York Yankees are calling up Jones, the organization's top outfield prospect, from Triple-A following Jasson Domínguez's injury, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Jones, who turns 25 next week, could make his MLB debut as early as Friday when New York visits the Milwaukee Brewers.
A former first-round pick (25th overall) out of Vanderbilt in 2022, Jones has rocketed through the Yankees' farm system and reached Triple-A last summer. He finished 2025 one steal shy of a combined 30-30 campaign across both Double-A and Triple-A.
The 6-foot-7, 240-pound outfielder was added to New York's 40-man roster over the winter and made a major impression during spring training, hitting six homers with a 1.526 OPS in Grapefruit League. Despite that production, the Yankees optioned Jones to Triple-A while Randal Grichuk, who was released last week, made the Opening Day roster.
In 142 plate appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, Jones is hitting .258/.366/.592 with 11 homers and a Triple-A-best 41 RBIs, along with seven steals and 18 walks.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone praised the young outfielder's recent play Thursday, although he stopped short of confirming the roster move.
"I feel like the last three, four weeks (he's) been having a lot of consistent at-bats, the power's been there, less swing-and-miss, which is some of the things we were seeing a little bit in spring training," Boone said after his team's 9-2 win over the Texas Rangers.
With Giancarlo Stanton already on the injured list and Domínguez about to join him there, Jones should get plenty of playing time going forward either in the outfield or at DH. The California native primarily plays center field but has experience manning all three outfield spots.
Domínguez will be placed on the IL after he sprained his shoulder while crashing into the outfield wall during Thursday's game. It's unclear how long he'll be out.
New York also plans to select right-hander Kervin Castro from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, a source told Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. The 27-year-old reliever last appeared in the majors in 2022.
