In ‘Shock News’, the exciting rookie looks likely to miss the first half of 2024
September 10, 2023
NEW YORK — Jason Dominguez made a sensational first impression after being promoted to the major leagues on Sept. 1, as the prodigy became the youngest Yankees player since Mickey Mantle to hit a homer and steal a base in the same game.
Mantle’s rookie season was cut short by a devastating injury, and now Domínguez’s season has been halted as well. The 20-year-old was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow that will require surgery, which will end his 2023 season and likely cost him the first half of 2024.
“It is definitely very shocking news,” Dominguez said through a translator. “You never expect this to be the outcome. Now that we understand what happened, we have to look forward and go through it.”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Martian’s recovery will likely take nine to 10 months, suggesting the 2024 All-Star break could be the best scenario for his return.
“I’m devastated for him,” Boone said. “At the same time, he’s young, and these things sort themselves out. It’s a moment in time, in the grand scheme of things, when we feel he has the chance to have a long, excellent career.”
“The plan is to undergo surgery as quickly as possible and try to recover as quickly as possible,” Dominguez said.
According to Boone and Dominguez, the injury can be traced back to his third game in the Majors, a Sept. 3 game against the Astros in Houston. Dominguez said he “felt like something wasn’t right” before the game, but he could still play, hitting his second big-league home run in the Yankees’ win.
After a day off, Dominguez said he was able to relax enough to pitch in his first appearance at Yankee Stadium on September 5, and first reported the discomfort to the team’s training staff on September 6, another game in which he pitched.
Dominguez said he has been receiving treatment since then, but the discomfort is “gradually worsening.” He was scratched from Sunday’s final series against the Brewers after feeling unable to swing the bat forcefully.
“Today, when he was doing his push-ups, his routine and his swing, he couldn’t throw the ball or hit it hard, so we tested him during the game,” Boone said.
The Yankees had a five-game winning streak after promoting Dominguez and catcher Austin Wells to September call-ups. Dominguez became the youngest player in the modern era (since 1900) to homer in four of his first seven AL/NL games.
The switch-hitting centerfielder slashed .258/.303/.677 (8-for-31) with six runs, one double, four homers, seven RBIs, two walks and one stolen base in eight games.
“It was a really good experience,” Dominguez said. “I was lucky to be here, to be able to play those eight games and see how things work within this club in the big leagues.”
