Dominguez started his rehab assignment with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with a planned progression that could have him rejoining the Yankees in left field by the end of next week, pending his health and performance. A recent update from team insiders suggests a strategic timeline: starting at designated hitter, then LF, with limited days off, and gradually returning to full duty.
Overall, Dominguez remains a central figure in the Yankees’ plans, especially given his youth and past projections as a top prospect. In limited MLB action this season, he has six hits, one home run, and 4 RBIs across 30 at-bats, and at 23 years old, his eventual readiness will be crucial for the Yankees as they navigate lineup adjustments with Judge out.
Key Takeaways:
– Dominguez begins rehab with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for a left AC joint sprain.
– Yankees face a T.J. with Aaron Judge out 4–6 weeks, increasing Dominguez’s potential role.
– Rehab plan suggests a step-by-step return to NYY in LF, with possible activation by the end of next week.
– In limited MLB action this season, Dominguez has shown promise with 6 hits, 1 HR, and 4 RBIs in 30 at-bats.
