New York Yankees left fielder Jasson Dominguez exited Wednesday’s game against the host Texas Rangers due to a bruised left elbow.
Dominguez was hit on the elbow by Nathan Eovaldi’s 89.1 mph cutter in the fourth inning. He was hunched over in pain and initially stayed in the game after being attended to by the team’s trainer.
Dominguez had x-rays conducted and will undergo further testing when the Yankees return to New York after the series finale against the Rangers.
After the Yankees batted, Max Schuemann replaced Dominguez. Dominguez was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday and started twice as designated hitter before getting the start in left field on Wednesday.
Dominguez debuted with four homers in eight games in Sept. 2023 before undergoing Tommy John surgery on his elbow. Last season, the switch-hitting outfielder batted .257 with 10 homers and 47 RBIs in 123 games but saw his playing time diminish after the All-Star break.
