Jasson Domínguez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) has increased his throwing to 120 feet. Dominguez began taking swings from both sides of the plate in mid-March and resumed hitting right-handed on Feb. 26. The 20-year-old switch-hitter is taking steps forward in his recovery from Sep. 20 Tommy John surgery back, and the Yankees believe he could play in minor-league rehab games sometime in April or May. Although there's a crowded outfield in the Bronx, Dominguez should be able to log consistent at-bats as the designated hitter and is expected to be available later this summer. After New York's No. 1 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, tantalized with a .258/.303/.677 triple-slash line, four home runs, seven RBI, and one stolen base across just 31 ABs a season ago, his progress is something fantasy managers need to keep a close eye on. Giancarlo Stanton is off to a rough 3-for-20 start and could eventually be pushed for DH playing time.

New York Yankees rookie outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) took 20 swings off a tee on Monday in camp, his first time swinging a bat since having Tommy John surgery in September of last year. Dominguez expects to do the same thing again on Wednesday. Up to this point, the 21-year-old outfielder had only been shagging fly balls in the outfield. It's a good step for The Martian, but he has a long ways to go in his recovery from elbow surgery and isn't expected to make his 2024 debut until later this summer. Still, Dominguez is one of the most intriguing outfield prospects in the game and deserves to be stashed in mixed leagues for his power/speed combination. When healthy, he is expected to be New York's starting center fielder.

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.
