Jasson Domínguez is out for the year
The New York Yankees start a four-game series with the Boston Red Sox on Monday and will do so without the team’s recent sparkplug.
Jasson Domínguez will miss the remainder of the season as well as a chunk of 2024 after tearing his UCL, New York manager Aaron Boone told reporters, per MLB.com. The 20-year-old will undergo Tommy John surgery.
The Yankees No. 2 prospect had been on a notable hot streak since making his Major League Baseball debut Sept. 1. He hit four home runs in eight games with a .980 OPS.
Domínguez rewarded the Yankees for the quick call-up prior to the injury. New York will now be without one of its most exciting young players.
The Yankees head to Fenway Park on Monday night to start a four-game set against the Boston Red Sox. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. ET. You can catch the game, plus an hour of pregame coverage, on NESN.
