Jasson Dom\u00ednguez joined the Yankees on Saturday from Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre, where he was on a strong run at the plate \u2014 but still not enough to be the hottest hitter on the team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That title belonged to Anthony Volpe, who entered Saturday having crushed five home runs in his past five games \u2014 a span in which he was hitting 12-for-17 (.706) with a 2.527 OPS \u2014 and eight in his past 14 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe became Barry Bonds all of a sudden, hitting a homer every day,\u201d Dom\u00ednguez said with a grin. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since he was demoted to Triple-A and replaced by George Lombard Jr. last month, Volpe has been bouncing around between shortstop, second base and third base to give him some defensive flexibility and increase his chances of getting back to the Yankees should they suffer an injury.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the meantime, though, Volpe, , who went 1-for-3 with two walks in Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre\u2019s loss on Saturday night, has been beating up on Triple-A pitching after hitting just one home run in 56 big league games this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s working his ass off to get better, and you can see it every day, I\u2019m telling you,\u201d said Dom\u00ednguez, who entered Saturday\u2019s game in the sixth inning in right field and went 0-for-1 with a long flyout to center field. \u201cI feel like the last two weeks, he\u2019s hit a homer every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
