BOSTON -- New York Yankees top prospect Jasson Dominguez was placed on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's injured list Sunday with a left side injury.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Dominguez suffered the injury on an "awkward" checked swing in his third plate appearance Saturday. He finished the at-bat, striking out looking, and played another inning in center field before he was removed from the game. He went 1 for 3 with a stolen base and two strikeouts.
"He's getting testing today," Boone said before the Yankees faced the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. "But it's enough to put him on the IL right away at least.
