BOSTON – Less than a week after completing his rehab assignment following Tommy John surgery, Jasson Dominguez is back on the shelf.
The Yankees’ top outfield prospect landed on the seven-day disabled list Sunday at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with a left side/oblique injury that stemmed from a swing in Saturday’s game.
Dominguez underwent tests Sunday to determine the extent and details of the injury, but manager Aaron Boone acknowledged that “it was enough to put him on the disabled list at least immediately.”
“He kind of made an awkward move and continued at bat,” Boone said Sunday before the Yankees concluded a series at Fenway Park. “That was his last at-bat.”

On Wednesday, the Yankees recalled Dominguez from the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A after playing 20 games on a rehab assignment following surgery in September to repair his torn ACL.
Boone had recently said that Dominguez would be ready to help the Yankees when needed, although there was no spot open for the 21-year-old switch-hitter to get daily at-bats in the majors.
The Yankees’ Triple-A outfield depth had already taken a hit recently when Everson Pereira underwent season-ending internal brace surgery to repair a torn ACL.
He and Dominguez are the only two outfielders on the 40-man roster who are not currently in the majors.

In 23 games in the minor leagues this season, Dominguez hit .356 with a 1.014 OPS, six home runs and three steals. Saturday was his seventh consecutive game playing center field after the Yankees helped him get into defensive action.
As of late Sunday afternoon, the Yankees said they had not yet made a decision on whether Gerrit Cole’s next start would be in the majors.
They’ve left Wednesday’s likely starter against the Orioles listed as “TBA,” although that would be Cole’s fifth day.
Cole is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday, and the Yankees may be waiting for him to get through it safely before making a final decision, continuing the trend they’ve followed throughout his rehab process.
“We don’t have to make that final decision now,” Boone said. “He’ll probably pitch in that five- or six-day window after the last one (Friday). “It’s like, let’s just not tie ourselves to something until we have to, so we can give it a couple of days and recover properly and make sure we’re okay.”
Cody Poteet would likely start Wednesday if the Yankees decide to have Cole make one more rehab start.
Néstor Cortés will start Tuesday’s series opener against the Orioles, while Luis Gil is scheduled for Thursday.
The Yankees started Sunday 28-13 on the road this season, trailing only the Orioles (22-10) for the best road record in the majors.
