You can add two more top prospects the Yankees will call up to the big leagues this season to the list, as multiple reports suggest that Jasson Dominguez and Austin Wells will be activated from Triple-A over the weekend when New York travels to Houston to take on the Astros for a three-game series starting Friday night.

After a recent promotion from Double-A to Triple-A, Dominguez, MLB’s No. 78 overall prospect and the Yanks’ No. 2 prospect, has been lighting it up for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In nine games, the 20-year-old has hit .419 with three doubles and a triple, and owns an eye-popping 1.095 OPS.

Meanwhile, in 33 games for Triple-A this season, Wells has impressed as well with his five home runs, 10 doubles, 20 RBI, 16 walks and .801 OPS. The No. 8 prospect in New York’s system, Wells, 24, has also shown promise at the catcher’s position.

Both players will join fellow top prospects Oswald Peraza and Everson Pereira, and the rest of the Yankees for the final month of the season.
