Jasson Dominguez to Go on Injured List With Shoulder Sprain
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) made an excellent play early in Thursday's victory against the visiting Texas Rangers in the Bronx when he crashed into the outfield wall, but it was a costly one. Manager Aaron Boone said Dominguez tested negative for a concussion after being removed from the game, but he does have a low-grade AC sprain in his shoulder and will land on the 10-day injured list, according to The Athletic's Chris Kirschner. It could be worse, but the man they call the Martian will miss at least a few weeks. With outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (calf) also still on the IL, the Yankees could call up outfield prospect Spencer Jones from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, making him a stash candidate in redraft leagues for his power upside from the left side of the plate. By the time Dominguez is ready to return from the IL, Stanton could be back with the Yankees, which would make it tougher for him to find regular playing time in the Bronx. The 23-year-old Dominican has only played in eight games for the Yanks so far this year and has gone 6-for-30 (.200) at the plate with a homer and four RBI. Dominguez is rostered in just 20% of Yahoo leagues and is not a must-hold in mixed formats now that he's injured.
