The 2024 season has gone better than the Yankees have planned. The Bronx Bombers are atop the AL East at 44-19, three-and-a-half games ahead of Baltimore. Their +115 run differential is the best in baseball, and the forgettable shell of 2023 is far in the rearview mirror.
That is, except for the year’s lone bright spot: top prospect Jasson Dominguez. He hit .258 with four home runs in just eight games last year before needing Tommy John surgery. Dominguez recently started playing rehab games and is batting a robust .310 with a .927 OPS through 16 of them.
