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 Curtis Mead
Mead's Surging Power Outburst Secures Everyday Role in Washington
Curtis Mead is carving out a secure, everyday role in Washington's lineup, primarily serving as the starting third baseman while providing valuable defensive flexibility at first and second. At just 25 years old and entering his fourth big-league season, the young infielder has historically struggled with a low launch angle, but recent mechanical adjustments have unlocked a significant power surge. His development and solid defense have solidified his spot in the heart of the Nationals' batting order.
Our models project Mead for 10 home runs, 42 RBIs, and a .238/.307/.362 slash line over his remaining 80 projected at-bats. While his career average sits closer to .240, his improved plate discipline (highlighted by a projected .307 OBP) and neutral batting average profile make him a stabilizing presence rather than a risk. If he maintains his strong metrics against right-handed pitching, his run and RBI counting stats will continue to climb in a surprisingly productive Washington offense.
For fantasy managers, Mead represents an intriguing post-hype sleeper who has finally secured the volume required to be relevant in mixed leagues. He won't provide much in the speed category, but his potential to chip in double-digit home runs with dual-position eligibility makes him an excellent corner-infield target. He offers a very safe playing-time floor with room for significant ceiling if his newfound fly-ball revolution fully takes root.
