Jasson Domínguez

Domínguez had the three hardest-hit balls of the game at 107, 105 and 105 mph, and his homer traveled 416 feet. 37 plate appearances into his winter league debut, he’s hitting .333 with nine walks and no strikeouts. That might not put him back into the Yankees’ plans right away, but it can’t be bad for his trade value.

With Aaron Judge’s return going well, and Spencer Jones lapping him in the playing time order, the Yankees simply don’t have a spot for Dominguez right now. The 23-year-old has hit .225/.267/.368 in 222 plate appearances in the bigs with six homers and eight stolen bases. He may eventually wind up being a reclamation project elsewhere with Judge, Jones, and Cody Bellinger ahead of him on the depth chart.

It might only be a short stay with the Yankees for Domínguez with Aaron Judge (rib) presumably getting close to returning after taking on-field batting practice on Friday. The 23-year-old former top prospect gets another look in the big leagues with Trent Grisham landing on the shelf with a hamstring strain. He’s the type of talent that fantasy managers can never completely dismiss, but his odds of making a fantasy impact down the home stretch are extremely low.

Domínguez became expendable for New York after picking up corner outfielder Heliot Ramos from the Giants at the trade deadline. The 23-year-old former top prospect heads back to the minors with Spencer Jones remaining up with the big club.

The one hit would have been a triple in a scoreless game leading off the sixth, but Domínguez badly overslid the bag at third, despite it not being a close play, and was tagged out. He was credited with a double, but it probably would have been a better day for him if he had just struck out again instead. He’s hitting .226/.268/.340 in 56 plate appearances during the second half.

Anthony Volpe then singled in Domínguez to make it 2-0. Domínguez also went 1-for-4 with a walk in game one. He’s not embarrassing himself in hitting .232/.270/.394 in 164 plate appearances, but he’s still not showing much in the way of upside at the plate, and it’s hard to say what the Yankees could realistically expect to get for him if they make him available at the deadline.

Domínguez was solely responsible for the Yankees only run against Roki Sasaki and the Dodgers’ bullpen in this one. He smoked a double to right-center in the fourth inning that Andy Pages bobbled, which let Domínguez get to third. Then, Dalton Rushing let a forkball clank off his glove and Domínguez scampered home on the pass ball. He’s played everyday for a month straight and has four home runs and six stolen bases despite a lowly .679 OPS over his last 30 games.

Dominguez took a Zack Littell sinker out to right-center field to give the Yankees a 2-1 lead in the top of the fourth inning, then singled and scored in the ninth inning on Jazz Chisholm’s homer. The 23-year-old is now hitting .346/.393/.615 in his last seven games with two homers and a stolen base. He’s not exactly a must-roster at this point, but he’s a talented player getting a real chance with Aaron Judge out, and he may be getting hot at the right time.

Domínguez’s homer, his fourth in 108 plate appearances this season, would have been a double most days, but this was still a really nice game, as he delivered hard-hit balls all five times up. He entered the day 3-for-21 with no extra-base hits in his last six games. With Spencer Jones going back to Triple-A, Domínguez seems set to play pretty regularly until Aaron Judge returns. He hasn’t offered much mixed-league value yet, but he still might for a spell.

The Yankees struggled to muster any offense against Payton Tolle and the Red Sox’s bullpen in this one. They wound up with just three total hits and the only two that went for extra-bases – Domínguez’s double and another from Anthony Volpe – came after Tolle left the game. Regardless, Domínguez has hit safely in four straight games and is not only an everyday player for the Yankees right now, but consistently in prominent spots in their lineup.

Dominguez wasn’t in the starting lineup yesterday after having a tooth pulled, but he’ll be right back in there today. The 23-year-old is going to get a long leash with Aaron Judge (ribs), Trent Grisham (oblique), and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) on the injured list for the Yankees. He should be added in most league types if he remains on your waiver wire.

Domínguez told reporters he’s available off the bench after having a tooth pulled earlier in the day prior to Tuesday’s contest against the White Sox. It’ll be Spencer Jones patrolling center field with Cody Bellinger and José Caballero in the corners. The 23-year-old former top prospect has gone 2-for-8 with a solo homer in a pair of games since returning from the injured list over the weekend. He’s worthy of a speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues based on his talent and opportunity to play everyday in right field with Aaron Judge (rib) on the injured list for the next couple weeks.

The Yankees will have to wait and see how Dominguez is feeling to see if he can play Tuesday against the White Sox. If the 23-year-old can’t go, Jose Caballero could see the start in his absence. Either way, this shouldn’t be a long-term absence for Dominguez.

Domínguez took Blue Jays veteran starter Kevin Gausman deep in the fourth inning of his return from the injured list. It was New York’s lone run of the contest until Paul Goldschmidt’s go-ahead blast in the ninth. The 23-year-old former top prospect has plenty of runway to prove he belongs in the majors with Aaron Judge (rib), Trent Grisham (hamstring) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) sidelined with injuries.

Domínguez is in right field and hitting second in Saturday’s showdown against the Blue Jays after missing just over five weeks recovering from an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder back in early May. The 23-year-old former top prospect offers an intriguing blend of fantasy-relevant skills but hasn’t produced consistently enough to provide sustained mixed-league value. He’ll factor into New York’s corner outfield rotation, along with rookie Spencer Jones and versatile José Caballero, while both Aaron Judge (ribs) and Trent Grisham (hamstring) are on the shelf.

Domínguez is working his way back from an AC joint sprain that he suffered on May 8th. With Aaron Judge (stress fracture) likely sidelined until August, it seems like Domínguez could have a solid runway of playing time coming up; however, Yankees manager Aaron Boone would not commit to activating the 23-year-old Domínguez in the coming day. Of course, if Spencer Jones struggles, that might make the decision easier.

The odds of Domínguez returning to the majors in short order have increased exponentially with Aaron Judge hitting the injured list with a stress fracture in his rib cage. The 23-year-old former top prospect figures to rejoin the Yankees in a couple days after wrapping up a rehab assignment. He may never blossom into the franchise-altering cornerstone many scouts and evaluators envisioned, but the raw talent is certainly there for him to make a fantasy impact in deeper mixed leagues.

Domínguez has been given the all clear to get back into game action after taking live batting practice on Thursday without any issues. The Yankees could certainly use him back in their injury-depleted outfield mix, especially if Aaron Judge (ribs) winds up requiring a trip to the injured list. The 23-year-old former top prospect will likely need a couple games to get back up to speed before he’s ready to return to New York.

Domínguez was able to resume hitting last week and should return to minor league game action at some point next week. The 23-year-old former top prospect hit the injured list with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder back on May 8.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Domínguez remains without a firm return timeline after hitting the injured list with an AC sprain in his left shoulder back on May 8. The injury wound up happening at the worst possible time for the 23-year-old former top prospect since he would’ve had an extended opportunity with the Yankees since Giancarlo Stanton remains in a holding pattern in his recovery from a calf strain.
