When is Jasson Dominguez getting called up? Will Jasson Dominguez play in August of this MLB season? Read about Jasson Dominguez’s debut date and fantasy baseball prospect updates for 2024.
Attention, earthlings! The Martian invasion of Major League Baseball is still on hold, and Jasson Dominguez’s long-awaited call-up has hit a few speed bumps. While the Yankees have been waiting for their prized prospect to make the leap, a crowded outfield and a string of solid veteran performances have created a logjam that even aliens can’t easily navigate.
Dominguez’s recent performance hasn’t exactly been setting the minors on fire either. In his last seven games, the young phenom slashed a meager .138/.160, with only four hits and eleven strikeouts in 29 at-bats. Not exactly the kind of numbers that scream, “Call me up!”
On @MLBNetworkRadio, Brian Cashman said this on Jasson Domínguez:
“He’s healthy. Ultimately, the injuries this year prevented him from getting much of a bulk of performance. He’s definitely sitting there waiting in the wings if need be, playing mostly in centerfield. I think…

Combine that with Verdugo quietly tearing it up with a .300 average over the last 15 games, and it’s clear the Yankees are in no rush to make space in their outfield.
How High Is Jasson Dominguez's Fantasy Potential?
Let’s not get too carried away with this minor setback, don't forget, Dominguez is still the same player who made jaws drop last September with four homers in eight games.
He’s a potential 20-20 threat with the power, speed, and batting eye to be a game-changer in fantasy baseball. Even with his recent struggles, stashing Dominguez remains a smart move, especially if you’ve got the roster space and patience to wait out this rough patch.

The question isn't if, but when, Dominguez will land in New York. Given the Yankees' competitive stance in the AL East and their need for dynamic offensive contributions, Dominguez's call-up seems more urgent. As far as fantasy managers are concerned, Dominguez's skill set screams stardom.
His power-speed combo is rare, and when you couple that with his plate discipline, which has shown improvement, you have a player who can impact every category in fantasy baseball.
When Might Jasson Dominguez Get A Major-League Opportunity?
With Verdugo's hot streak and a packed outfield, the timing for Dominguez hasn't been right. Yet, baseball is unpredictable, and roster needs can change overnight with injuries, opening up an opportunity for Dominguez to make his mark.
Given the current scenario, expecting Dominguez in late August seems reasonable. This timeline allows the Yankees to see how their outfield performs and where they stand in the playoff race. For fantasy managers, this means there's still time to make your move. His call-up could coincide with a critical time in the fantasy season, making his addition potentially league-winning.
For those in keeper or dynasty formats, holding onto, or acquiring, Dominguez now could set you up for immediate and future success. His call-up might not just be a win for the Yankees but could be a championship move for your fantasy team. Keep your eyes on the sky, "The Martian" is due for his descent into the majors soon.
