Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez's recovery from Tommy John surgery is moving along.
Dominguez, who arrived at Yankees spring training well before the official reporting date, is already throwing from 60 feet -- and he'll be taking a huge step on Monday.
That is when the 21-year-old will swing a bat for the first time since surgery, likely beginning the process by hitting off a tee, manager Aaron Boone told reporters.
Boone added that the switch-hitter will hit from the right side only for the first couple of weeks.
Speaking earlier this week, Dominguez wouldn't put a timeline on a potential return date, saying he doesn't want to rush.
Position players typically return from TJS much faster than pitchers, with one recent example being Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper's lightning-quick recovery.
It took Harper just 160 days between surgery and his return to action.
Boone recently told The Michael Kay Show that Dominguez will be ”back in the summer for us. I’m confident in that.”
In eight games last season before he was injured, Dominguez hit .258/.303/.677 with four home runs and seven RBI.
He was slated to be a big part of the outfield this season, but the elbow injury will likely keep him out of the outfield this year.
The aforementioned Harper was primarily a first baseman and designated hitter in 2023, but that might not be an option for Dominguez. Giancarlo Stanton will be used in the DH spot for the Yanks, and Anthony Rizzo is the first baseman.
Daniel Weinman was crowned winner of the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event on Monday, taking home a record breaking $12.1 million in winnings. Weinman had to outlast the other 10,043 entrants to take home the prize and get his hands on his share of live poker’s largest ever prize pool – a staggering $93,399,900. As well as taking home the prize money, 35-year-old Weinman also got his hands on the WSOP Main Event bracelet. The huge bracelet contains 500 grams of 10-karat yellow gold, as well as 2,352 various precious gemstones.
Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
