Jasson Domínguez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (thumb) exited early during their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday evening. The former top prospect left the game with a left thumb contusion he suffered in the fifth inning after sliding into second base. Before exiting, Dominguez went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run, and a walk. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next game on Tuesday evening against the Cleveland Guardians. Over his last 10 contests, the switch-hitting outfielder has been quite productive at the plate, posting a .276/.361/.414 slash line with a double, a home run, and a 10:5 K:BB. If Dominguez were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Cody Bellinger to see the vast majority of starts in left field with Pablo Reyes serving as the No. 2 option.

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the hosting Los Angeles Dodgers in a rematch of last year's World Series. With Dominguez on the bench, Ben Rice is serving as the designated hitter and will bat fifth against Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin. Dominguez will get a breather after going 4-for-18 with two RBI, three steals, a run scored, four walks and six strikeouts in six games since May 22. The 22-year-old Dominican switch-hitter is in his first full season in the big leagues in the Bronx and has so far mostly been a disappointment for fantasy managers with a .239/.339/.414 slash line, .752 OPS, six homers, 24 RBI, 26 runs and seven steals in 46 games played. Per his xBA of .240 and xwOBA of .337, he's producing exactly as expected given his batted-ball metrics. Rice has never faced Gonsolin and won't be a bad DFS play on Friday.

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This is a routine rest game for Dominguez who has started in each of the last six games. During that span, Dominguez has struggled with four hits, one homer, and three RBI in the last six games. Hopefully, Dominguez will get back on track after a rest day on Tuesday. Ben Rice will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth versus left-hander Tyler Anderson on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of first pitch.
