The New York Yankees still have hopes for outfielder Jasson Dominguez despite the former top prospect starting the season in the minor leagues, but his latest opportunity to prove himself in pinstripes was put on hold Thursday.

Dominguez left the Yankees' game against the Texas Rangers on a cart after a hard collision with the outfield wall after making an impressive catch.

The 23-year-old didn't make the Yankees' roster out of spring training, but struggles by Randal Grichuk and an IL stint for Giancarlo Stanton helped clear the way for some at-bats for the young outfielder.

Here's the latest on Dominguez's status after he was carted off.

Dominguez was visibly emotional as he was being carted off. He missed nearly all of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John Surgery and didn't make the Opening Day roster after an inconsistent season in 2025, so Thursday marked only his ninth game of the year at the MLB level.

Dominguez's exit forced the Yankees to reshuffle their lineup, with Cody Bellinger and Amed Rosario moving around and Ryan McMahon entering the game at third base. If Dominguez has to head to the IL, questions about potentially calling up outfield prospect Spencer Jones could become louder with Stanton already on the shelf.
