Jasson Domínguez was scheduled to start in center field on Sunday against the Brewers, but he won't play due to an injury.
, the Yankees announced that Domínguez won’t play due to right elbow inflammation. The severity of the injury — as of the early innings of Sunday’s series finale with Milwaukee — is unknown.
The Yankees won’t want to push Domínguez to play through an injury, especially in games that are effectively meaningless. New York is nine games out of a Wild Card spot with just 20 games remaining in the regular season. Still, Domínguez missing time would be a significant blow. These last few weeks of the season were poised to be a prime opportunity for the outfielder to learn on the fly and grow with experience, simultaneously auditioning for playing time heading into next spring.
Domínguez was hitting .258 over his first eight games with the Yankees, swatting four home runs while driving in eight runs and scoring six times.
