Jasson Dominguez Progresses on Rehab Assignment as Return Approaches
Jasson Dominguez remains on the injured list with a left shoulder AC joint sprain, showing no recent games played. However, the young outfielder began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on June 5. He will eventually rejoin a second-place Yankees team holding a 41-26 record, where his bat is sorely needed with Aaron Judge also sidelined.
Before the injury, Dominguez hit just .200 with one homer in a brief nine-game stint. Our models project a rest-of-season recovery, forecasting a .238 average, eight home runs, and eight steals over 345 at-bats. This potential is backed by his 2025 campaign, when he showcased a strong power-speed floor with 10 home runs and 23 steals.
The Yankees end the week with three games in Toronto, facing Trey Yesavage, Kevin Gausman, and Patrick Corbin. Since Dominguez is still working his way back in the minors, he will not play in this series. Keep him stashed on your bench or injured list, and designate him as a Sit for now.

Devin Williams battles walk issues but remains locked in as Mets' primary closer
Devin Williams continues to serve as the primary closer for the fifth-place Mets, who currently sit at 29-38 on the year. While his overall campaign has been turbulent, his last 14 days show signs of stabilization with a 3.00 ERA and a strong 0.67 WHIP. New York's bullpen is heavily depleted with injuries to Clay Holmes and Reed Garrett, cementing Williams' ninth-inning security.
Under the hood, Williams' current 5.97 ERA and 1.68 WHIP are far elevated from our projection of a 3.19 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. His high walk rate is the clear culprit, with eight walks over his last 8.1 innings. However, his elite strikeout stuff is still there, meaning positive regression is likely once his control returns to his career norms.
Looking ahead, the Mets face a remaining matchup against St. Louis before hosting a tough division rival in Atlanta. High-leverage spots could be challenging against Atlanta's Spencer Strider and Bryce Elder, but Williams' secure role guarantees save chances. Keep him active as a reliable source of saves and strikeouts. Verdict: Start.
