New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez is expected to have a big role at the major-league level in 2025. "I fully expect him to be a big part of what we do this coming year," manager Aaron Boone said. Dominguez dealt with injuries in the minors and ended up playing in only 18 regular-season games at the major-league level with the Yankees in 2024, going 10-for-56 (.179) with two home runs, four RBI and five stolen bases in 67 plate appearances. The 21-year-old Dominican switch-hitter was mostly blocked in left field by Alex Verdugo, but he's a free agent this offseason and most likely won't be re-signed, opening the door for the Yankees' top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, to be on the big-league roster for the entire 2025 campaign. Even if the Yankees re-sign superstar Juan Soto, Dominguez figures to be an everyday player and has massive upside given his elite power/speed combination.
New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez is on the bench again for Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium against the Kansas City Royals. Dominguez hasn't started a single game in the ALDS to this point despite getting some decent run as the team's left fielder to close out the regular season. Alex Verdugo will get the nod in left field again on Wednesday and will hit ninth against Royals right-hander Seth Lugo. Verdugo has had only seven career at-bats against Lugo, but he has three hits against him (one double), one RBI and a strikeout. The 28-year-old has looked good so far in the first two games of the ALDS, going 3-for-7 with an RBI, a walk and two runs scored. Against righties in 429 plate appearances in the regular season, Verdugo hit .235 (92-for-392) with 11 of his 13 home runs. In the nine-hole, he's a deep DFS sleeper on Wednesday.
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.
