Wunderkind Jasson Dominguez — a “special talent” according to an AL scout — is the first Yankee to start his career with a five-game hitting streak in all Yankee wins, via YES Network numbers maven James Smyth.

Good job by Hal Steinbrenner to call up all the kids, who’ve brought energy, as there was said internal resistance. And no, the Yankees didn’t take too long; Dominguez hit .254 at Double-A, played just nine games at Triple-A and isn’t old enough to drink.

Yankees pitchers have only praise, too, for the catching of Austin Wells, whose rep was as an offense-first catcher.

The Mets still might have been better off to call up Ronny Mauricio earlier, but as with Brett Baty, there’s a positional question with him. Still he would have provided more versatility than Daniel Vogelbach. He’s hitting better (102 OPS plus), but as one NL scout said, to have a DH only player he probably should hit like J.D. Martinez.

Shohei Ohtani could slightly aid his free agency if he got the elbow surgery sooner. But consider how many thousands of people flew thousands of miles to see him. (Again, he isn’t about money.)

No. 1 overall draftee Paul Skenes, the LSU right-hander, was shut down by the Pirates but only over an innings concern, they say. His girlfriend Olivia Dunne was even more popular in Bradenton.

The Rangers’ free fall is inexplicable after their great trade deadline (Max Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery, Aroldis Chapman). They are currently out of playoff position after a series in which they became the first team to allow 16 home runs and 50 hits in a three-game series (to their rival Astros).

Jose Altuve is a first-ballot Hall of Famer. And don’t forget, he wouldn’t take the trash-can signals.
