September 10th, 2023

NEW YORK -- Jasson Domínguez was scratched from Sunday’s starting lineup against the Brewers with right elbow inflammation, the Yankees announced.

The team said that Domínguez is day to day. The announcement was made approximately 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for Sunday’s series finale at Yankee Stadium.

Domínguez, 20, has been productive since being promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sept. 1. He is the youngest player in the Modern Era (since 1900) to homer in four of his first seven Major League games.

The switch-hitting center fielder has slashed .258/.303/.677 (8-for-31) with six runs, one double, four homers, seven RBIs, two walks and one stolen base through eight games.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa replaced Domínguez in center field, with Gleyber Torres moving to the No. 3 spot in the Yankees’ batting order.
