After a promising start to his MLB career, it’ll be a while before Yankees fans get to see top prospect Jasson Domínguez again.
The 20-year-old outfielder will undergo Tommy John surgery on Wednesday to repair a torn UCL, manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Thursday. The team anticipates that he will be ready to return in nine to ten months, which would be in June or July of next year.
Domínguez was diagnosed with a torn UCL on Sunday, shortly after he was removed from that day’s lineup due to complaints of elbow soreness. The nine-to-ten-month timeline is in line with what Boone said the team expected Domínguez’s recovery to be after he was initially diagnosed.
