The Yankees will conclude a rough 2023 season without top rookie Jasson Dominguez following tests that revealed a torn UCL in his right elbow, manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday.
Boone told reporters of Dominguez’s diagnosis following Sunday’s 4–3 win after he after he underwent testing during the game following a late scratch. He also shared that concerns surrounding the 20-year-old’s health began after his second career game on Sept. 2.
Following a win over the Astros, Boone said Dominguez began complaining of right elbow soreness. On Wednesday, the team started treating Dominguez, which led into Sunday, when, per Boone, the slugger “couldn’t pop the ball or really hit it hard” as he was testing his swing before facing Milwaukee.
