Jasson Domínguez couldn’t dodge a pitch, but the Yankees’ outfielder is dodging a trip to the injured list. Prior to Friday’s series-opener against the Orioles, Aaron Boone said that Domínguez has shown “significant improvement” since Wednesday, when Nathan Eovaldi hit The Martian in the left elbow with an 89. 1-mph cutter in the fourth inning of the Yankees’ loss to the Rangers.
Domínguez initially stayed in the game to run, but he had to be replaced in the bottom of the frame due to a contusion. He then underwent X-rays at Globe Life Field, which came back inconclusive. Fortunately for him, a CT scan, performed in New York on Thursday, came back clean.
“We got good news on that front,” Boone said. “We were kind of holding our breath a little bit yesterday with that, but it came back clean. He was much improved yesterday, much improved today, so I think we avoided something there.
