Jasson Dominguez to Begin Rehab Assignment, a Top Stash Ahead of Return?
The New York Yankees announced that outfielder Jasson Dominguez (shoulder) is starting a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday. Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, Dominguez could return to the Yankees' big-league roster at some point late next week. The 23-year-old Dominican switch-hitter is recovering from a left-shoulder AC joint sprain that he suffered when he crashed into the outfield wall. The Yankees placed superstar outfielder Aaron Judge (rib) on the IL on Friday, and he could be sidelined through the mid-July All-Star break due to a stress fracture in his rib. With Giancarlo Stanton (calf) still sidelined as well, Dominguez figures to play regularly in the Yankees' outfield once he returns. The Martian didn't make the Opening Day roster out of spring training and only played in nine games for the Yanks before his shoulder injury, going 6-for-30 (.200). Still, Dominguez has enough power/speed upside to be attractive as a waiver-wire pickup in at least deep-mixed fantasy leagues. He is rostered in under 10% of Yahoo leagues right now.
