The Yankees also want Domínguez to play some winter ball after he saw only limited action in the second half of the season. Domínguez is definitely something of a question mark for the Yankees; his struggles on defense continued this year, and while he had a nice 50% hard-hit rate, he didn’t pull the ball enough and would up slugging just .388 to go along with a decent .257 average. His fantasy upside, though, remains pretty exciting, and the Yankees have outfield time opening up with both Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham becoming free agents.

Domínguez probably still would have disappointed Yankees fans as a full-time player this season, but he most likely would have justified his ADP if not for Trent Grisham stuffing him into a locker. He’s now 23-for-25 stealing bases to go along with his decent .258/.333/.391 line in 424 plate appearances. That he’s struggling to pull flyballs is a problem, but he has a 50% hard-hit rate. He just needs to point those hard-hit balls in better directions next season.

Domínguez’s last four hits have all driven in runs, but that’s over a span of two weeks now. He’s just not going to have much of an opportunity the rest of the way unless someone ahead of him gets hurt.

Paul Goldschmidt is batting .228/.273/.309 against righties this season, compared to .254/.350/.427 for Domínguez, but for better or worse, the Yankees would still rather use him at first and Cody Bellinger in left than Bellinger at first and Domínguez in left. Bellinger has started at first base just twice all season (July 5 &18).

Domínguez finds himself batting sixth during Sunday’s first-half finale with veteran Paul Goldschmidt moving up to the leadoff spot to face formidable Cubs southpaw Shota Imanaga. Ben Rice is on the bench for the second consecutive game against a left-hander. The other notable development here is that red-hot Cody Bellinger is batting second once again to close out the first half.

Domínguez was 0-for-9 in his previous two games, but he’s still been much more good than bad of late, going 19-for-48 with seven extra-base hits, nine runs scored and four steals in his last 11 games. He was thrown out stealing tonight for just the second time in 16 attempts this season.

Domínguez has been moved up to the top of New York’s batting order to face Mariners ace Logan Gilbert after hitting .392 (20-for-51) with two homers and four steals over his last 15 games. The 22-year-old former top prospect has legitimately been one of the hottest hitters in baseball of late and will aim to carry that momentum through next week’s All-Star break into the stretch run.

Domínguez takes a seat with Cody Bellinger in left field with the Mets rolling out a bullpen game on Sunday afternoon. It’ll be Paul Goldschmidt at first base over Ben Rice. The 22-year-old former top prospect has been sizzling-hot at the dish of late and should come off the bench at some point in the contest.

Trent Grisham is in the leadoff spot on Saturday afternoon, but Domínguez figures to continue getting chances atop New York’s lineup after going 2-for-4 with two homers and a stolen base out of the top spot during Friday’s contest at Citi Field. The 22-year-old former top prospect has legitimately been one of the hottest hitters in baseball recently, hitting .400 (12-for-30) with two homers, six RBI and two steals over his last seven games.

Working as the lead-off hitter for just the second time this season, Domínguez made his presence felt with a home run as the first batter of the game. That was somehow his first home run since all the way back on May 21st. He hit another in the fifth that again gave the Yankees a lead before their bullpen blew it later on. He also grounded out to make the final out in this game with Aaron Judge stranded on deck. Despite the lack of home run power to this point, he’s stolen 14 bases and has a .273 batting average with a .783 OPS. Those are solid marks to hang one’s hat on just past the halfway point of the season.

A hot streak would be huge for Domínguez, who, thanks in part to injuries to Trent Grisham and Austin Wells, has gotten to start three games in a row after being excluded from the starting lineup in four of the previous eight games. He’s 14-for-31 in his last seven contests, raising his OPS from .709 to .752.

The Yankees were probably better off with Giancarlo Stanton on the IL. Domínguez has started just three of the team’s last six games, none of them consecutively. Worse, two of those, including today, were against lefties, and the switch-hitter is batting just .194/.289/.306 against them, compared to .277/.360/.432 against righties. He had a big game Wednesday, going 4-for-5, in his only start against a righty all week; he sat against them both Tuesday and Friday. The Yankees had enough trouble finding at-bats for everyone before Stanton returned, and starting Domínguez, Paul Goldschmidt and Ben Rice all about half of the time isn’t doing anyone any good, except for maybe the Blue Jays and Rays.

This was a huge game for Domínguez. He reached base in three separate innings where the Yankees scored and notched three hard-hit balls in total. Playing time could get scarce between the Yankees corner outfield, first base, and designated hitter options with Giancarlo Stanton back in the fold, so this big game by Domínguez feels even better given the context.

For a time this spring, it looked like Domínguez might be the regular leadoff man, but he hadn’t hit higher than fifth in any of his previous 55 starts this season. Clearly, the Yankees think they need a little shakeup after getting shutout in back-to-back games, and Domínguez is batting a fine .269/.353/.438 against right-handed pitchers this season. The Yankees also have Paul Goldschmidt batting sixth, which is the lowest he’s hit to date. Ben Rice and Trent Grisham are out of the lineup versus Kyle Hendricks.

Dominguez reached on an infield single in the second inning but was left stranded at second base. He then singled in the fourth inning and rode home on Austin Wells’ three-run blast. The 22-year-old outfielder also poked a one-out single into center in the seventh inning but the Bombers couldn’t cash him in. With his three-hit attack, he’s now hitting .246/.340/.402 with six homers, 25 RBI and eight stolen bases on the season.

Domínguez has started two consecutive games in left field against Boston after missing a pair of contests earlier this week due to swelling in his finger. The 22-year-old former top prospect hasn’t set the fantasy landscape ablaze, but he’s holding his own at the highest level, showing occasional flashes of big-time upside.

Domínguez was able to resume swinging a bat on Wednesday without any issues and should rejoin New York’s lineup on Thursday night. The 22-year-old has sat out two straight games due to swelling in his left thumb.

Domínguez told reporters he’s feeling better on Wednesday and will continue receiving treatment to address swelling in his left thumb. The 22-year-old former top prospect added that he’s aiming to resume swinging a bat, but remains out of the lineup for the second straight game. Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters he hopes to have him available off the bench, if needed. It sounds like he’ll be ready to return to New York’s lineup later this week. It’ll be Cody Bellinger in left field on Wednesday night in his absence.

Domínguez is absent from Tuesday’s lineup and could wind up missing a couple additional contests this week after making an early exit from Sunday’s series finale against the Dodgers with swelling in his left thumb.

Domínguez was pulled from Sunday’s game after hurting his thumb while sliding into second base. The 22-year-old is now dealing with enough swelling that he will be out of the lineup today and will have trainers further evaluate the injury. If Domínguez were to need an IL stint, it would likely mean that Trent Grisham would find himself with a full-time role.

The 22-year-old outfielder suffered the injury while stealing second base in the fifth inning. He stayed in the game for another inning defensively, but was ultimately lifted when his spot in the batting order came around again. It doesn’t sound like anything too serious, but he’ll probably undergo imaging just to be on the safe side. Stay tuned as the Yankees should have an update on his status after the game.

Domínguez is in the midst of a recent dip at the plate, hitting .182 (4-for-22) with one homer and two steals over his last seven games. To his credit, the home run was a walk-off blast last Wednesday against the Rangers. It’ll be Cody Bellinger getting a turn in left field on Tuesday night.

Domínguez remains locked into the lower-third of New York’s lineup despite putting together a surreal three-homer explosion during Friday’s series opener in Sacramento. However, this decision might have more to do with the presence of lefty JP Sears on the mound for the Athletics than anything else. It’ll be veteran Paul Goldschmidt leading off with Trent Grisham hitting second. Aaron Judge will get a turn at DH with Ben Rice taking a spot on the bench to open Saturday afternoon’s matinee.

Dominguez became the youngest member of the Yankees to hit three homers in a game, passing some guy named Joe DiMaggio. One of those homers was a grand slam, and he ended up driving in seven runs in the best game of his career. It’d be the best game of most careers. Fantasy managers are going to have to take some bitter with the better in Dominguez’s rookie season, but the talent competes with any young outfielder in baseball.

Paul Goldschmidt has the day off, so Domínguez, who is need of a big game or two, is hitting a little higher than usual. It’s lefties that Domínguez is struggling with, though all but one of his off days this year has come with a righty on the mound. The switch-hitter is batting .306/.377/.468 against righties and .083/.214/.167 versus lefties.

Domínguez hasn’t exactly set the fantasy landscape ablaze so far, striking out 32 percent of the time in exactly 100 plate appearances through 25 games. He hasn’t been a complete non-factor since he’s contributed two homers, 12 RBI and three steals during that span. The 22-year-old top prospect isn’t going anywhere and an extended hot streak would certainly help flip the narrative on his early-season performance.

The Yankees weren’t able to muster a single run through the first five innings of the ballgame, but they rallied against Michael Wacha in the sixth inning with an infield single from Aaron Judge and a pair of two-out walks. Austin Wells then worked Angel Zerpa for a walk to score the Bombers’ first run and Domínguez followed with a three-run double that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. He also singled twice in the ballgame, finishing the night 3-for-3. On the season, the 22-year-old outfielder is slashing .275/.362/.431 with one home run, eight RBI and a pair of stolen bases.

Domínguez returned to the lineup after sitting out Friday’s contest. He drove in two runs with a base hit in the fifth before stealing second for his second steal of the season. Domínguez later reached on an infield single in the seventh for his second hit of the day. The 22-year-old outfielder is batting .233/.313/.372 with one homer and seven runs scored across 48 plate appearances.
