Jasson Dominguez became the latest casualty of this dreadful Yankee season, as the rookie was scratched from Sunday’s lineup with right elbow inflammation.
The 20-year-old has gotten off to an excellent start to his major league career, with four homers in his first seven games, while playing center field for a Yankee team that is looking to see who can help in 2024.
