Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez to get more elbow testing after hit by pitch
Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez will undergo further testing on his left elbow after being struck by an 89.1 mph cutter from Texas Rangers starter Nathan Eovaldi during Wednesday's game in Arlington.
The 23-year-old Dominguez had been called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday, starting all three games in the series against the Rangers before the injury occurred.
Although Dominguez initially remained in the game, manager Aaron Boone replaced him with Max Schuemann in the fourth inning after X-rays at the stadium proved inconclusive.
The team diagnosed Dominguez with a left elbow contusion and scheduled additional imaging for Thursday, an off day, while Boone expressed hope that "just bruising" will be revealed.
In other injury news, ace Gerrit Cole threw 45 of 60 pitches during his third minor league rehabilitation start Wednesday, marking progress in his return from reconstructive elbow surgery.
