Jasson Dominguez Won't Play on Tuesday Due to Thumb Swelling
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Jasson Dominguez (thumb) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the visiting Cleveland Guardians due to swelling in his left thumb. Boone said there is some uncertainty around the injury, and Dominguez will be checked by trainers. The 22-year-old switch-hitter jammed his thumb on second base in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and is still dealing with swelling after Monday's off day for travel. It sounds like this could be a situation that could send the Martian to the injured list, but for now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. If Dominguez were to miss extended time with this injury, it would mean more consistent playing time for Ben Rice most likely out of the designated hitter spot. In his first full season in the big leagues, Dominguez is currently hitting .247/.346/.420 with six homers, 25 RBI and eight steals in 49 games. UPDATE: Boone said that Dominguez is doing well and that the injury could be "just a couple of days thing. It seems like it's gotten better every day."
