The Yankees placed Dominguez on the injured list after he suffered a low-grade sprain in his left AC joint on May 7, when he collided with the Yankee Stadium wall while making a standout catch. His swing from the right side puts that shoulder in a lead position, testing his strength, extension, and comfort through the zone.
YES Networkโs Conor Foley posted the latest update Tuesday on X, formerly Twitter, from Scranton, where the switch-hitting outfielder’s performance offered a strong sign in his rehab process.
โAdd a third right-handed hit for Jasson Domรญnguez. He’s 3 for 3 with a walk through six innings so far, all from the right side.โ

Before Tuesday, Dominguez had opened the assignment slowly, going 0-for-7 with three strikeouts in his first two rehab games. That made the response more notable, especially because it came from the side of the plate most directly tied to his recovery.
The outfield context also makes the update more relevant. With Aaron Judge sidelined for weeks, the Yankees are making do with Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, Spencer Jones, and other short-term options. The depth exists, but the mix remains matchup-dependent and carries defensive compromises.
Dominguez hit .200 with one home run and four RBI before the injury. Those numbers were modest, but his upside remains one of New Yorkโs biggest internal boosts. Tuesdayโs update suggested he is healthier, sharper, and moving closer to giving Aaron Boone another real outfield decision as New York manages a crowded AL East race without rushing him back.
The New York Yankees received an update on Jasson Dominguez that should excite fans Tuesday night. The outfielder showed progress during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, giving the organization another encouraging sign as it monitors his return. Dominguez went 3-for-3 with a walk through the first six innings at PNC Field.
