Jasson Dominguez

Jasson Dominguez is in the Yankees lineup on Monday against the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Dominguez is batting sixth and serving as the designated hitter. He'll get an extended look in the lineup if Giancarlo Stanton continues to miss more time.

Dominguez's time with the Yankees could be brief if Giancarlo Stanton (leg) is able to avoid the injured list, as Stanton remains on the active roster for now. In the meantime, Dominguez is expected to see regular starts with Stanton banged up.

Fantasy Impact

He slashed .326/.415/.478 with three home runs, eight stolen bases, and a 13:16 BB:K at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before being recalled Monday.

Jasson Dominguez is being called up to the New York Yankees according to multiple reports. The move will be made official prior to Monday's game against the Texas Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Dominguez heads back to New York following the demotion of Luis Gil after the righthander struggled again in his start on Sunday. Dominguez was off to a good start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, hitting .306 with three home runs, 13 runs batted in, and eight stolen bases in 22 contests. Dominguez hit 10 home runs in 123 games with the Yankees last season and is a career .248 hitter with 16 home runs and 29 stolen bases in 149 games over parts of three seasons in New York. Giancarlo Stanton has missed each of the last two games with a calf injury. Given Stanton's injury history, he could be placed on the injured list in, at least, a precautionary move. If that happens, Dominguez could see quite a few at bats in the short term.

Jasson Dominguez has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the New York Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Dominguez did everything he could this spring to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster as he batted .342 (13-for-38) with nine runs scored, three home runs, three stolen bases, and ten runs driven in. However, the path to regular playing time just wasn't in the cards as the Yankees will go with Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Trent Grisham in the outfield while Giancarlo Stanton is healthy and ready to be the everyday designated hitter. Dominguez is still just 23 years old and he will open the year in Triple-A. He'll likely be in New York at some point this season, but the Yankees are giving him an opportunity to play everyday by sending him down.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he expects Jasson Domínguez to be a regular next season.

Fantasy Impact

This remains uncertain depending on the offseason moves the Yankees make. Domínguez is expected to play in winter ball this offseason.
