Jasson Domínguez's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this appears to be a routine rest day for Dominguez. Instead, the Yankees have decided to give Alex Verdugo the start in left field. The left-handed slugger has hit well against Boston this season with 13 knocks in 43 plate appearances. Verdugo appears to be a strong fantasy option for Friday's slate.

The New York Yankees recalled outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday and also placed infielder DJ LeMahieu (hip) on the 10-day injured list with a right-hip impingement. The Yankees also reinstated infielder Jon Berti (calf) from the 60-day IL and designated left-hander Anthony Misiewicz for assignment. Dominguez, the club's top prospect, is starting in center field on Monday and is batting sixth against Kansas City Royals right-hander Brady Singer in the Bronx. The Yankees recently said that the 21-year-old wouldn't come back to the big leagues unless he was going to play regularly, so the Martian should play every day down the stretch for the Bombers. Injuries have been the story of his 2024 season after he recovered from Tommy John surgery, but now that Dominguez is in majors to stay, he should be rostered in all fantasy formats.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said it's still "very much in play" that outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez gets called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. "Frankly, there's probably no one higher on Jasson Dominguez than me. He's very much in the mix, but we're not ready to make that move yet," Boone said. Dominguez was not one of the players that the Yankees called up when rosters expanded on Sunday, although the 21-year-old they call the Martian is still an option to join the Bombers down the stretch. He should be rostered in most fantasy leagues since he could make an immediate impact in all categories if he comes up and sees regular playing time, but he's also running out of time to make noise in fantasy. The Dominican switch-hitter has been injured in 2024 but has been excellent at Triple-A when healthy, slashing .298/.354/.457 with five homers, 18 RBI and 14 steals in 38 games.
