Dominguez nears return

New York Yankees' top prospect Jasson Dominguez is nearing a return to game action after suffering an oblique strain on June 15. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Dominguez has been ramping up at the club’s minor league complex and will join Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this week, potentially returning to games within a week. Despite initial expectations of an eight-week recovery, Dominguez's swift progress makes him an intriguing option for the Yankees, who are in need of offensive support. Dominguez's potential return coincides with Giancarlo Stanton's recovery from a hamstring strain, adding complexity to lineup decisions. The Yankees are not setting a specific number of games or at-bats required before considering his promotion to the major league roster. Boone emphasized that Dominguez will be available whenever the need arises.
