Dominguez has a ruptured UCL, Yankees manager Aaron Boone revealed to the media following the game.<\/p>\n<h2>Jasson Dominguez Injury Update: Torn UCL &amp; Possible Surgery<\/h2>\n<p>The ulnar collateral ligament in the elbow is known as the UCL. When the ligament is injured, the most popular technique to repair it is called Tommy John surgery, which normally sidelines pitchers for 12 to 14 months. Position players can recover more quickly, particularly if they are the designated hitter, as was the case for Bryce Harper this season, who returned in May following surgery in November.<\/p>\n<p>He is anticipated to miss 9 to 10 months.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jasson Dominguez has a torn UCL, per Yankees manager Aaron Boone <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7PDYAqPNlj\">pic.twitter.com\/7PDYAqPNlj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/1700989023471521976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously tough news to have,\u201d Boone said following the Yankees\u2019 win over the Brewers on Sunday. \u201cHad some soreness Sunday he said in Houston, the last game. But I hadn\u2019t thought that much of it. [He] started getting treatment on Wednesday but [the elbow] still wasn\u2019t anything impacting him really. And then today, when he was doing his BP, his routine and he was swinging, he couldn\u2019t pop the ball or really hit it hard. So we brought him up and he went and got tested during the game and he\u2019s got a torn UCL.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees offered Dominguez his first cup of coffee in the MLB earlier than anticipated after the team lost its chance to make the playoffs.
