Star Yankees youngster Jasson Dominguez will have Tommy John surgery on his torn right elbow ligament on Wednesday, reports Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.
Manager Aaron Boone added that Dominguez’s expected recovery time is 9-10 months. That would put him back in the lineup in June or July. SNY’s Andy Martino had reported Dominguez was also considering an “internal brace” procedure which may have accelerated his return.
Dominguez had been an immediate impact player for the Yankees, batting .258 with four home runs, seven RBI, and a .980 OPS to go with a 162 wRC+.
