Rebilas-Imagn Images Yankees left fielder Jasson Dominguez will have a CT scan on Thursday in New York after X-rays on his left elbow were inconclusive on Wednesday in Arlington, Texas.
Dominguez came out of the Yankees’ 3-0 defeat to the Texas Rangers after being hit on the elbow by Nathan Eovaldi’s 89.1 mph cutter in the fourth inning. He was hunched over in pain and initially stayed in the game after being attended to by the team’s trainer.
Max Schuemann replaced Dominguez in the field before the next half-inning.
“It got me right in the elbow,” Dominguez said postgame. “As of right now, I don’t feel any concern. … Right when it hit me, my arm went numb a little bit, but (since) it’s just been swelling.”
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of the injury, “You hate seeing that. Hopefully, the tests reveal not much and it’s just bruising, and we’ll work through it. But unknown at this point.”
Dominguez was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday and started twice as designated hitter before getting the start in left field on Wednesday. He went 1-for-9 in the three games.
The 23-year-old switch hitter debuted with four homers in eight games in September 2023 before undergoing Tommy John surgery on his right elbow. Last season, Dominguez batted .257 with 10 homers and 47 RBIs in 123 games but saw his playing time diminish after the All-Star break.

![Deadspin | PIF to no longer financially back LIV Golf [US, Mexico & Canada customers only] Feb 5, 2026; Riyadh, SAUDI ARABIA; Bryson DeChambeau in action during the second round of play at LIV Golf Riyadh at the Riyadh Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Reuters via Imagn Images Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund confirmed Wednesday it will no longer finance LIV Golf, according to the Wall Street Journal. The league will notify its players and staff by Thursday. Reports of PIF pulling its funding have been rampant for weeks. The Telegraph reported LIV officials were summoned to an emergency meeting in New York last week, and a tournament scheduled for June in Louisiana was postponed. In a statement issued to Field Level Media, the league said it planned to move the tournament to the fall to avoid “the peak summer heat and the crowded global sports calendar.” Last Wednesday, ESPN obtained an email LIV CEO Scott O’Neil sent to staff claiming the 2026 season will continue “exactly as planned, uninterrupted and at full throttle.” He made no mention of LIV’s future beyond 2026, however. Founded in 2021, LIV Golf made its debut in June 2022 and used lavish, guaranteed contracts to lure dozens of stars like Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau away from the PGA. PIF has provided LIV with more than $5 billion, but the league has reportedly lost millions of dollars per year. Earlier this month, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, PIF’s governor and LIV’s main financial backer, shared a plan for the kingdom to cut back on international investments and focus on more domestic projects. DeChambeau, Cameron Smith and Rahm reportedly turned down the opportunity to return to the PGA Tour earlier this year. According to MSN.com, some LIV players have reached out to the DP World Tour. “At the moment, we’re in the mode of just listening because we don’t know any more than anyone else does”, DP World Tour chief executive Guy Kinnings told MSN. “But we’ll listen and we’ll make sure that we’re fully informed before we make the decisions that we need to do. But for sure, there are people who are concerned and we will be having conversations with them at the right time.” PIF and the PGA Tour signed a Framework Agreement on June 6, 2023, throwing out the lawsuit LIV filed that accused the PGA of being a monopoly. But a deal to work together never came to fruition, despite the efforts of U.S. President Donald Trump. LIV has seven more events scheduled for this year, including May 7-10 at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #PIF #longer #financially #LIV #Golf Deadspin | PIF to no longer financially back LIV Golf [US, Mexico & Canada customers only] Feb 5, 2026; Riyadh, SAUDI ARABIA; Bryson DeChambeau in action during the second round of play at LIV Golf Riyadh at the Riyadh Golf Club.
