Wed Jun 25 | 23:18 | Jasson Dominguez Doubles Twice, Swipes Two Bags |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two steals in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the hosting Cincinnati Reds. He also singled twice and scored two runs. It was a career day for Dominguez, and the first time he's notched four hits in a contest. The two swipes bring him up to 12 on the season. The 22-year-old has been better overall in June, carrying a .281 average (16-for-57). However, he hasn't hit a ball out of the yard in over a month (May 21) and has seen his OPS dip nearly 200 points from May (.677). Dominguez is batting a fine .279 off right-handed pitching, but is struggling against southpaws (.200). He'll need to improve there to warrant playing time in a loaded Yankees outfield. |

Tue Jun 17 | 15:18 | Jasson Dominguez Hitting Leadoff Against Angels |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is starting in left field and hitting out of the leadoff spot for Game 2 of the series in the Bronx against the visiting Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Dominguez returns to the lineup after sitting out in Monday's series opener, and he'll be batting higher than fifth in the order for the first time all year. Now that Giancarlo Stanton is back in action, the 22-year-old could find himself on the bench more often. The Dominican switch-hitter has put up modest numbers so far in his first full season with the Yankees, slashing .236/.324/.385 with six long balls, 26 RBI, 29 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 195 at-bats. The Martian has been cold in the month of June, too, going 7-for-35 (.200) with a double, two RBI and two steals in 10 games. He has never faced Hendricks. |

Mon Jun 16 | 17:12 | Jasson Dominguez Sitting Out in Series Finale |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez will head to the bench for Monday's series opener versus the visiting Los Angeles Angels in the Bronx. Cody Bellinger is shifting over to left field and will hit cleanup against Angels right-hander Jose Soriano. Dominguez hasn't really lived up to his lofty expectations in his first full season in the big leagues in 2025 and is hitting .206 (7-for-34) with a double, two RBI and two steals with 10 strikeouts in his first nine games in June. Overall, he's slashing a mediocre .237/.326/.387 with a .712 OPS, six long balls, 26 RBI, 29 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 194 at-bats. The 22-year-old Dominican's .235 xBA doesn't bode well for a rebound in the second half of the season, either. Additionally, Giancarlo Stanton's return to the lineup could mean fewer at-bats for Dominguez going forward. |

Wed Jun 11 | 18:24 | Jasson Dominguez Absent on Wednesday |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Dominguez will now head to the bench for the second time in the last three games. It's a bit odd to see Dominguez heading to the bench after a three-hit game on Tuesday. He's slashing .246/.340/.402 with six home runs and 25 RBI this season. The potential is through the roof, but it might take some time for Dominguez to adjust to the big league level. Regardless, he's worth rostering in most 12-team formats. Trent Grisham will cover center field and bat seventh versus left-hander Kris Bubic on Wednesday. |

Thu Jun 5 | 16:15 | Jasson Dominguez Back in Yankees Lineup |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (thumb) is starting in left field and batting seventh in Thursday's game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Slade Cecconi in the Bronx. Dominguez jammed his thumb in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Dodgers and missed the first two games of the series against the Guards as a result. The 22-year-old youngster is back in action on Thursday, though, and will be looking to extend his current hitting streak to five games against a pitcher he's never faced. He's gone 4-for-10 with a double, RBI, two steals and a run scored in his last four games for the Yankees. Dominguez is playing regularly in his first full season in the big leagues and is currently hitting .247/.346/.420 with a .765 OPS, six homers, 25 RBI, 27 runs and eight steals in 162 at-bats. The switch-hitter known as the Martian should be returned to starting fantasy lineups. |

Wed Jun 4 | 16:00 | Jasson Dominguez Out Again on Wednesday |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (thumb) remains out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the visiting Cleveland Guardians in the Bronx. It will be Dominguez's second straight missed game after he jammed his left thumb over the weekend against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Once the inflammation in his thumb goes down, he's expected to return, possibly as early as Thursday's series finale against Cleveland. Cody Bellinger is making another start in left field and is batting cleanup, while Ben Rice is serving as the designated hitter and batting in the two-hole against Guardians right-hander Luis L. Ortiz. Bellinger has gone hitless in three career at-bats against Ortiz, while Rice has a hit and an RBI against him in two at-bats. Fantasy managers will need to keep Dominguez on their benches and check back on Thursday to see if he's back in action. |

Tue Jun 3 | 13:23 | 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." |

Mon Jun 2 | 07:07 | Jasson Dominguez Exits Early on Sunday |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez (thumb) exited early during their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday evening. The former top prospect left the game with a left thumb contusion he suffered in the fifth inning after sliding into second base. Before exiting, Dominguez went 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run, and a walk. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next game on Tuesday evening against the Cleveland Guardians. Over his last 10 contests, the switch-hitting outfielder has been quite productive at the plate, posting a .276/.361/.414 slash line with a double, a home run, and a 10:5 K:BB. If Dominguez were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Cody Bellinger to see the vast majority of starts in left field with Pablo Reyes serving as the No. 2 option. |

Fri May 30 | 20:19 | Jasson Dominguez Getting a Day Off |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the hosting Los Angeles Dodgers in a rematch of last year's World Series. With Dominguez on the bench, Ben Rice is serving as the designated hitter and will bat fifth against Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin. Dominguez will get a breather after going 4-for-18 with two RBI, three steals, a run scored, four walks and six strikeouts in six games since May 22. The 22-year-old Dominican switch-hitter is in his first full season in the big leagues in the Bronx and has so far mostly been a disappointment for fantasy managers with a .239/.339/.414 slash line, .752 OPS, six homers, 24 RBI, 26 runs and seven steals in 46 games played. Per his xBA of .240 and xwOBA of .337, he's producing exactly as expected given his batted-ball metrics. Rice has never faced Gonsolin and won't be a bad DFS play on Friday. |

Tue May 27 | 18:55 | Jasson Dominguez Absent on Tuesday |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This is a routine rest game for Dominguez who has started in each of the last six games. During that span, Dominguez has struggled with four hits, one homer, and three RBI in the last six games. Hopefully, Dominguez will get back on track after a rest day on Tuesday. Ben Rice will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth versus left-hander Tyler Anderson on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of first pitch. |

Thu May 22 | 01:46 | Jasson Dominguez Walks it Off Versus Rangers |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in his team's 4-3 win against the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old notched his sixth extra-base hit of the month in the bottom of the ninth inning when he blasted a Luke Jackson slider 398 feet over the right-field wall (109.7 MPH exit velocity) to walk it off. It was Dominguez's sixth long ball of the season, and first since his massive three-homer effort just under two weeks ago. He's hitting much better this month -- sporting an average nearly 30 points higher than he had in April (.267). Additionally, he's racked up an impressive 9:12 BB:K ratio in 45 at-bats, which is more enticing than the 11:34 he held over the previous 92. |

Tue May 20 | 16:01 | Jasson Dominguez Sitting Out on Tuesday |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez is getting the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium with left-hander Patrick Corbin on the bump. Cody Bellinger is sliding over to left field and is hitting cleanup, while Ben Rice will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth in the order. In his first full season in the big leagues, the 22-year-old Dominguez is currently slashing .241/.342/.421 with a .763 OPS, five home runs, nine doubles, 21 RBI, 24 runs scored and four stolen bases in 155 trips to the plate for the Yankees. He's been slightly better in 13 games in May, hitting .268 (11-for-41) with three homers, nine RBI, one steal and 10 runs scored. Despite the lefty-lefty matchup, Bellinger has hit .400 with two RBI in 20 career at-bats versus Corbin. Rice, who also hits lefty, has never faced Corbin. |

Sat May 10 | 01:59 | Jasson Dominguez Smashes Three Homers On Friday |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez had a night to remember on Friday, going 3-for-4 with three homers and seven RBI. Dominguez could not be stopped in this one, hitting solo shots in the third and seventh innings before capping the night off with a grand slam in the eighth. After a slow start to the season, the 22-year-old is suddenly back to solid overall numbers after this monster game. He has a .250 AVG, 20 runs, five homers, 19 RBI, and three swipes in 108 at-bats. Dominguez hasn't been playing every day, but still gets plenty of playing time and hits in a stacked lineup. He should be rostered in standard-size leagues just in case he lives up to his potential, and Friday is a reminder of his sky-high upside. |

Wed Apr 16 | 00:42 | Jasson Dominguez Collects Three Hits, Three RBI Tuesday |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez had a productive game at the plate in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Royals. Dominguez went 3-for-3 with two singles, a double, and three RBI. The 22-year-old has had a solid start to the season offensively, slashing .275/.362/.431 with one home run, eight RBI, and two stolen bases in 58 plate appearances. There are some potentially worrisome signs for Dominguez, such as his dreadful .050 batting average against left-handed pitchers and his bottom-five percentile average exit velocity. However, the Martian carries a ton of pedigree and has produced respectable overall numbers, so fantasy managers can be cautiously optimistic at this point. |

Mon Apr 7 | 13:12 | Jasson Dominguez Heads To Bench For First Time This Year |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez will get his first day off of the year for Monday's series opener in Detroit against the Tigers at Comerica Field. Cody Bellinger will slide over to left field and bat third, while Trent Grisham will get another start in center and hit eighth in the batting order versus Tigers right-hander Casey Mize. Dominguez will get his first breather of 2025 after starting the year going 8-for-33 (.242) with a home run, three doubles, three RBI, one steal, seven runs scored, four walks and nine strikeouts in 38 trips to the plate over nine games. The 22-year-old should be back in there for the second game of the series in Motown on Tuesday. The Yankees want to keep Grisham's bat in the lineup after he hit two homers and drove in four runs on Saturday against the Pirates. The mustachioed outfielder is on a tear early with three homers and nine RBI in his first 22 at-bats. |

Tue Mar 25 | 16:24 | Jasson Dominguez, Ben Rice Make Opening Day Roster |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez and first baseman Ben Rice officially have made the team's Opening Day roster, according to manager Aaron Boone. It shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers that either player is on the big-league roster to start the year. Dominguez, 22, is the much bigger name in fantasy and will open his first full season in the majors as New York's starting left fielder. As long as he stays healthy, the Martian should be a lock for 20 homers and 20 steals. He hit .267 (16-for-60) with three homers, 12 RBI and five steals in 19 spring games. Although he hit just .207 (18-for-87) in his first 26 big-league games the last two years, Dominguez should be locked into starting fantasy lineups anytime he's active. Rice, 26, clubbed five homers in 19 Grapefruit League games. The power is there, but the playing time might not be as he tries to get at-bats at first, DH and catcher. |

Fri Mar 14 | 09:57 | Jasson Dominguez Launches Second Spring Home Run |
New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run shot for his second long ball of spring training. He hit this home run off Detroit's top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe. Through 12 spring training contests, the switch-hitter has held a .229/.270/.400 line two stolen bases and a 2:10 BB:K. The top prospect is expected to be their everyday left fielder at the start of the season. He has only appeared in 26 contests in the major leagues throughout his career and has held a .437 SLG with six home runs during this stint. Last summer, Dominguez held an impressive .309/.368/.480 slash line with seven doubles and seven home runs. He swiped 15 bags and held a 16:36 BB:K. Dominguez is a high-upside outfielder to target as he could be poised for a breakout season with a full-time role in the Yankee lineup. |

Tue Mar 4 | 23:05 | Jasson Dominguez Hits First Long Ball Of The Spring |
New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez cranked his first home run of the spring in Tuesday's 12-3 Grapefruit League win over the Phillies. Dominguez was 2-for-4 on the day with an RBI and a pair of runs scored. The 22-year-old has gotten off to a bit of a slow start, now 4-for-20 (.200) through seven spring games, and has yet to steal his first base, although that should not have any bearing on his fantasy draft stock for now. The Dominican could hit leadoff for the Yankees this season, which should be a boon to his run-scoring production, although on Tuesday, the left-handed hitter batted third. He's dealt with injuries the last two seasons, but if he can manage to stay healthy this year, he's a legitimate 20/20 threat and isn't that expensive with an NFBC ADP of 147. |

Mon Feb 17 | 16:02 | Jasson Dominguez Could Hit Leadoff For Yankees |
MLB.com's Bryan Hoch projects outfielder Jasson Dominguez to start in left field and bat leadoff for the New York Yankees on Opening Day in 2025. The Yankees could turn to Dominguez as the table-setter this year after they used seven players in the leadoff spot in 2024 -- mostly shortstop Anthony Volpe, who had 76 starts atop the lineup. Manager Aaron Boone thinks Dominguez's skill set will play well in the leadoff role because his mix of on-base ability, power and solid baserunning. The Yankees prefer to use both outfielder Cody Bellinger and infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the heart of the order, with Hoch projecting Bellinger to hit third and Chisholm in the No. 5 spot. Dominguez leading off would obviously be bad news for Volpe, who projects to hit eighth in front of infielder DJ LeMahieu. As long as he stays healthy, Dominguez should be a candidate for a 20-20 season, making him a top-40 fantasy outfield target. |

Tue Jan 28 | 21:25 | Cody Bellinger Likely To Play Center Field, Jasson Dominguez In Left Field |
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on WFAN 660 on Tuesday that he will likely use outfielder Cody Bellinger in center field and outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez in left field in 2025. The Yankees can move Bellinger around as needed, including to play first base, while Boone would rather keep Dominguez in one spot in what will be his first full professional season in the majors. Paul Goldschmidt will be the Yankees' starting first baseman, but on days he's used as the designated hitter, Bellinger could slide to first. In addition to being the team's primary left fielder in 2025, Dominguez, along with infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr., will be an option to hit leadoff for the Bombers. Both Bellinger and Dominguez will be No. 3 outfield targets in fantasy, with Bellinger having a safer floor given his experience, but Dominguez certainly has the higher long-term ceiling. |
