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

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) will start hitting on Monday, likely starting with tee work. However, Dominguez, a switch-hitter, will only hit from the right side for the first "couple of weeks" after having Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last year. "I'm sure it's a pretty slow progression," Boone said. The 21-year-old they call The Martian has been shagging fly balls in camp and doing some throwing, but the impressive young outfielder isn't expected to make his 2024 debut until around the All-Star break. In his MLB debut at the end of last year, Dominguez hit four homers in eight games. Because Dominguez truly has 15-15 potential in half a season, he's worth stashing in deep-mixed fantasy leagues despite the fact he's expected to miss the entire first half of the year.

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) has already started throwing, and manager Aaron Boone said he'll start hitting a week from Monday. After having Tommy John surgery last year, Dominguez's target date is still this summer. The 21-year-old outfield prospect was shagging fly balls in the outfield in camp earlier this week and is now throwing, although he was already placed on the 60-day injured list and most likely won't make his 2024 season debut until after the All-Star break in July. Despite his injury, Dominguez, the man they call The Martian, is one of the most exciting young position-player prospects in the game and has 30-30 potential over a full season. Whenever he can finally play defense, he's expected to be New York's starting center fielder.

The New York Yankees placed outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) on the 60-day injured list on Wednesday to make room on the 40-man roster for right-hander Lou Trivino, who was signed to an undisclosed one-year major-league deal. Trivino's deal includes a club option for 2025. Dominguez is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right throwing arm but has been shagging balls in the outfield in camp and is scheduled to resume playing catch soon. However, the 21-year-old still has a long ways to go in his recovery and isn't expected to make his 2024 debut until sometime this summer. He took Justin Verlander deep on his first big-league swing last year and had four home runs in his first eight games, demonstrating the kind of upside he'll have as a starter for the Yankees in the future.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) will play catch in camp soon. He's already been shagging fly balls in the outfield and should be swinging a bat by the end of spring training, with the Yankees targeting a summer return. The 21-year-old had Tommy John surgery in late September and is one of the most interesting position-player prospects in the game. The man they call The Martian hit .258 (8-for-31) in his first eight major-league games late last year, with four of his eight hits clearing the fences. The fact that the injury was to his throwing arm will make things more complicated in terms of when he'll make his 2024 season debut, but Dominguez has enough talent to reach 15 home runs and steal 15 bases, even if he doesn't play his first game until around the All-Star break.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) was seen working out in the outfield on Monday at the team's minor-league complex. Dominguez had Tommy John surgery in late September and isn't expected to make his debut this year until sometime this summer, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Still, it's a good sign to see the 21-year-old in the outfield this early in the spring. The Yankees will most definitely ease Dominguez back in on defense once he eventually does make his 2024 debut, so he may not see time in center field in the Bronx until later on. In his first 33 plate appearances in the big leagues in 2023, he went 8-for-31 (.258) with four homers and seven RBI. The biggest reason for skepticism with Dominguez in single-year leagues in 2024 is that his surgery was to his throwing elbow.
