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 Brayan Rocchio
Rocchio's recent slump makes him a risky play despite secure everyday role
Brayan Rocchio remains the everyday shortstop for the second-place Guardians, who are looking to snap a four-game losing streak with a 37-33 record. While Gabriel Arias remains sidelined on the injured list, Rocchio has secure playing time but has struggled lately, hitting just .179 over his last 14 days with only one home run.
Although Rocchio's overall season numbers look strong with a .276 average and 11 stolen bases, his recent slump aligns closer to our modest season projection of a .236 average and .290 on-base percentage. Given his career .216 average in 2024, fantasy managers should expect some regression, as his hot start to the year appears to be cooling off.
For the remainder of the week, the Guardians host three home games against the Tigers starting Friday. Rocchio has a favorable matchup against Jack Flaherty and his 5.52 ERA, but faces a tougher test on Sunday against Troy Melton's tidy 2.81 ERA. With the bat cold and mixed matchups ahead, the smart move is to Sit him in standard formats.
