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.

Outlook Ryan O'Hearn
O'Hearn's Power Surge Makes Him a Strong Mid-Week Play
Ryan O'Hearn has provided a nice spark since returning from a mid-May quad injury on May 31, hitting three home runs over his last nine games. He helps anchor a third-place Pirates team (35-33) that is fighting to stay in the postseason race. Despite some playing-time rotation, O'Hearn remains a key middle-of-the-order presence for Pittsburgh.
While our models project a conservative 13 home runs for O'Hearn on the year, he has already slugged 10 across 53 games with a strong .283 average. His current .500 slugging percentage over the last week aligns with his power-packed performance in Baltimore over the past two seasons, suggesting his current pop is no fluke, though his average may settle closer to .266.
For the rest of the week, Pittsburgh faces a challenging matchup today against Dodgers starter Justin Wrobleski and his 2.62 ERA before hosting a three-game series against Miami. He'll face Sandy Alcantara (4.43 ERA) on Saturday, alongside two unannounced Marlins pitchers. Given his recent power surge, O'Hearn is a solid option for the weekend. Verdict: Start.
