As expected, the New York Yankees placed top prospect Jasson Dominguez on the 10-day injured list Monday.
Dominguez, 20, has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow and is expected to have Tommy John surgery.
Dominguez was scratched from Sunday's game against Milwaukee with inflammation in the elbow.
Reconstructive surgery would sideline the switch-hitting center fielder for a minimum of six months.
"The plan is to go through surgery as soon as possible and try to recuperate as soon as possible," Dominguez said Sunday, per CBS News in New York.
