However, a story about Jasson Dominguez’s first interaction with Aaron Judge is heart-warming and likely made it an easier transition when Dominguez got the call in September.</p><p>Dominguez and Judge, along with a few other players <a href="https://theathletic.com/4876247/2023/09/19/yankees-jasson-dominguez-aaron-judge-story/?access_token=68838&amp;redirected=1" rel="noopener">sat together</a> for a meal and made small talk at the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-keep-fighting-aaron-judge-message-wild-card-playoffs" rel="noopener">Yankees’</a> Spring Training complex in Tampa, according to Brendan Kuty of The Athletic. Judge finished his meal, and noticed that Dominguez was done with his as well, so he took his place and threw it out for him. It was a small gesture, but it meant a lot for Dominguez.</p><p>“I told all of my family, ‘Judge took my plate!'” Dominguez said, via Kuty. “It was a big surprise to me.”</p><p>Judge recently spoke about the gesture as well.</p><p>“We’re all in this together,” Judge said, via Kuty. “I was getting up, and I had somewhere to be, but I saw (Dominguez) was done, so it was just, ‘I’m heading this way anyway. Let me take this for you, man. Hand out here.’ I think there were a couple of other guys with us, too. I don’t know. I’ve always tried to do that. Other guys have done that for me. We’re a team. It doesn’t matter if he’s in High A or Low A or just got drafted. You’re still wearing the pinstripes. You’re still wearing the ‘NY’ logo. You’re still part of this team. At some point, we’re going to be teammates.”</p><p>Judge is the leader of the team, and was long before he was named captain last offseason after signing his nine-year, $360 million deal.</p><p>Dominguez’s eight games are hopefully a preview of a dynamic duo in the lineup in 2024 and beyond for the Yankees. He is scheduled to get surgery on Wednesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But, the New York Yankees phenom only lasted eight games before <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-hit-with-devastating-elbow-injury-update" rel="noopener">suffering a torn UCL</a>.</p><p>And as widely expected, Dominguez is <a href="https://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/1702350052369530966" rel="noopener">set to undergo</a> Tommy John surgery, Aaron Boone confirmed on Thursday, per Bob Nightengale. The Dominican is expected to miss 9-10 months of action.</p><p>This is a crushing blow for Dominguez and the Yankees. The organization was certainly ready to make him an everyday starter in center field. He was off to a flying start too, hitting .258 with four homers and seven RBIs in just eight contests. The tools were all on full display. There’s a reason he’s nicknamed ‘The Martian”.</p><p>Based on the timetable, he’ll miss about half of the 2024 season and could return around the All-Star break if not sooner if all goes well in rehab.

He showed glimpses of just that in limited time in the Majors. Unfortunately, this injury just falls in line with New York’s miserable campaign where they’re going to miss the playoffs by a longshot much in part due to their abysmal offense.</p><p>Dominguez will have the operation next Wednesday. Best of luck to him in recovery.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Started getting treatment on Wednesday but still wasn’t anything impacting him really.

One such reason is the play of electric rookie Jasson Dominguez, the 20-year old centerfielder who has done nothing but turn the heads of fans since receiving a call-up to the big leagues. And on Friday night, Dominguez continued to show that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-adds-proof-hes-future-duplicating-epic-feat-seen-just-once-123-years" rel="noopener">he’ll be a huge part</a> of the Yankees’ turnaround that could come as soon as next season.</p><p>Despite suffering an 8-2 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers at home, the Yankees centerfielder did his fair share of damage at the plate. The 20-year old hit a two-run home run in the third inning off of Colin Rea, notching the fourth dinger and driving in the seventh run of his brief big league career thus far. And in doing so, Dominguez joined two exclusive Yankees lists that highlight just <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-mickey-mantle" rel="noopener">how impressive</a> his seven-game run as a big leaguer has been to this point.</p><p>Per ESPN Stats &amp; Info, Jasson Dominguez <a href="https://twitter.com/ESPNStatsInfo/status/1700309184238047702" rel="noopener">became just the third player</a> in Yankees history to notch three multiple-RBI games within the first seven games of one’s career, joining Jesse Hill and Frank Laporte, who notched the feat in 1935 and 1905, respectively. Moreover, the 20-year old centerfielder <a href="https://twitter.com/evan_b/status/1700301851025883470" rel="noopener">joined</a> Shelley Duncan as the only two players in Yankees history to hit four home runs in the first seven games of their career, per Evan Barnes of Newsday.</p><p>Of course, the parameters for these kinds of clubs are very arbitrary. It has become something of a meme among fans that analysts use random benchmarks as indicators just so they could prop up certain players like the way they do for the Yankees centerfielder in this respect.</p><p>Moreover, the sample size for Jasson Dominguez isn’t exactly the greatest, as he hasn’t yet firmly established himself as a big leaguer. Nevertheless, this achievement shows that the future is bright for the Yankees youngster. Now comes the hard part of following through on what has been such a bright start to what should be a long and prosperous big league career for the 20-year old.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Mickey Mantle had previously been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-mickey-mantle">the only Yankees player</a> to hit three homers in a five-game span at 20 years old or younger.<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-adds-proof-hes-future-duplicating-epic-feat-seen-just-once-123-years" rel="noopener"> Jasson Dominguez accomplished the feat</a> through the first five games of his major-league career.</p><p>The Yankees couldn’t have asked for more from the highly touted prospect when they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-jasson-dominguez-mlb-debut-home-run-aaron-boone" rel="noopener">called him up</a> from Triple-A. Dominguez is hitting .333/.333/.810. The newest Yankees’ outfielder has only struck out three times in 21 at-bats.</p><p>Dominguez’s solo home run Wednesday was ultimately the difference in New York’s 4-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. After the game, Yankees manager Aaron Boone was asked why Domínguez’s transition to the majors<a href="https://theathletic.com/4840816/2023/09/07/yankees-jasson-dominguez-mickey-mantle/"> seem so easy</a>.</p><p>“Confidence,” Boone said, via The Athletic. “He knows he’s a good player, but I think he’s got the right level of humility with that, too. There’s just an easy way about him.”</p><p>Yankees fans have been hearing about Dominguez since he was 16 years old. The 20-year-old quickly rose through New York’s minor league ranks this summer. After a strong July, Dominguez was promoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he hit .419 in nine games. The Yankees saw enough to call him up to the major league roster.</p><p>New York has embraced a youth movement in the lineup since falling out of the playoff race. Dominguez has helped spark the lineup, quickly being slotted as the No. 3 hitter. The Yankees are a perfect 5-0 with Dominguez in the lineup.</p><p>The Yankees are 6.5 games out of the final AL wild-card spot.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
