Jasson Domínguez: Everything you need to know

Dominguez (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Friday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. Dominguez will play rehab games Friday and Sunday, and he's expected to need a few more next week before rejoining the active roster. That could point to a return as soon as the weekend of June 12-14, though the Yankees could wait until the start of their next homestand June 16 before activating Dominguez, who is coming back from a left shoulder AC joint sprain.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Dominguez (shoulder) will hit live pitching Wednesday and likely begin a rehab assignment later this week, Chelsea Janes of SNY.tv reports. Wednesday's session will mark Dominguez's first time facing live pitching since he suffered a left shoulder AC joint sprain in early May. As long as he gets through it without any hiccups, he'll be cleared to return to games. Dominguez's role with the Yankees could be dependent on whether he makes it back from the injured list before or after Giancarlo Stanton (calf).

Dominguez (shoulder) could be ready for a minor-league rehab assignment during the first week of June, per MLB.com. Dominguez has been sidelined since injuring his shoulder by crashing into the outfield wall while making a catch May 7. He began taking swings off a tee May 20 and seems to be making tangible progress in his recovery. If Dominguez is indeed able to begin playing in minor-league games during the first week of June, he could be ready to return to the big-league club before the midpoint of that month.
