Jasson Dominguez Remains Out of Yankees Lineup on Friday
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (elbow) remains out of the team's starting lineup for Friday's series opener in the Bronx against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles, according to MLB.com. Ben Rice is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second, while Paul Goldschmidt is at first base and hitting leadoff for the Yanks. Dominguez was hit by a pitch on Wednesday against the Texas Rangers and left early with a left-elbow contusion. He had the day off to rest on Thursday for a travel day. Dominguez remains out on Friday, but it could just be because the Orioles are expected to start left-hander Cade Povich. Fantasy managers should consider Dominguez to be day-to-day and check back on Saturday to see if he's back in the starting nine. The 23-year-old former top prospect has an opportunity for at least regular playing time in New York against right-handers with Giancarlo Stanton (calf) currently on the injured list. Dominguez is currently rostered in only 15% of Yahoo leagues and has gone 1-for-9 in just three games played at the big-league level this year. UPDATE: A CT scan on Dominguez's left elbow came back negative, so he could be available off the bench for the Yankees on Friday night.
