Jasson Domínguez DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

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.

New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez (elbow) is doing well and his estimated return timetable is "sometime in the summer," according to general manager Brian Cashman. "We're going to need him whenever he's ready." The 20-year-old Dominican made his major-league debut in 2023 and played in only eight games before needing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. He looked good in a small sample size, hitting four home runs, but he may not be guaranteed the starting center field job in the Bronx now that the team has added Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo this offseason. Dominguez is probably still worth stashing in most fantasy leagues this year, even if he doesn't play in the first half of the year and is eased in once he's ready. MLB.com the player they call the Martian listed as New York's No. 2 prospect, behind only outfielder Spencer Jones.
