New York Yankees outfielder
Jasson Dominguez will get his first day off of the year for Monday's series opener in Detroit against the Tigers at Comerica Field.
Cody Bellinger will slide over to left field and bat third, while
Trent Grisham will get another start in center and hit eighth in the batting order versus Tigers right-hander
Casey Mize. Dominguez will get his first breather of 2025 after starting the year going 8-for-33 (.242) with a home run, three doubles, three RBI, one steal, seven runs scored, four walks and nine strikeouts in 38 trips to the plate over nine games. The 22-year-old should be back in there for the second game of the series in Motown on Tuesday. The Yankees want to keep Grisham's bat in the lineup after he hit two homers and drove in four runs on Saturday against the Pirates. The mustachioed outfielder is on a tear early with three homers and nine RBI in his first 22 at-bats.

New York Yankees outfielder
Jasson Dominguez and first baseman
Ben Rice officially have made the team's Opening Day roster, according to manager Aaron Boone. It shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers that either player is on the big-league roster to start the year. Dominguez, 22, is the much bigger name in fantasy and will open his first full season in the majors as New York's starting left fielder. As long as he stays healthy, the Martian should be a lock for 20 homers and 20 steals. He hit .267 (16-for-60) with three homers, 12 RBI and five steals in 19 spring games. Although he hit just .207 (18-for-87) in his first 26 big-league games the last two years, Dominguez should be locked into starting fantasy lineups anytime he's active. Rice, 26, clubbed five homers in 19 Grapefruit League games. The power is there, but the playing time might not be as he tries to get at-bats at first, DH and catcher.

New York Yankees outfield prospect
Jasson Dominguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run shot for his second long ball of spring training. He hit this home run off Detroit's top pitching prospect
Jackson Jobe. Through 12 spring training contests, the switch-hitter has held a .229/.270/.400 line two stolen bases and a 2:10 BB:K. The top prospect is expected to be their everyday left fielder at the start of the season. He has only appeared in 26 contests in the major leagues throughout his career and has held a .437 SLG with six home runs during this stint. Last summer, Dominguez held an impressive .309/.368/.480 slash line with seven doubles and seven home runs. He swiped 15 bags and held a 16:36 BB:K. Dominguez is a high-upside outfielder to target as he could be poised for a breakout season with a full-time role in the Yankee lineup.

New York Yankees outfielder
Jasson Dominguez cranked his first home run of the spring in Tuesday's 12-3 Grapefruit League win over the Phillies. Dominguez was 2-for-4 on the day with an RBI and a pair of runs scored. The 22-year-old has gotten off to a bit of a slow start, now 4-for-20 (.200) through seven spring games, and has yet to steal his first base, although that should not have any bearing on his fantasy draft stock for now. The Dominican could hit leadoff for the Yankees this season, which should be a boon to his run-scoring production, although on Tuesday, the left-handed hitter batted third. He's dealt with injuries the last two seasons, but if he can manage to stay healthy this year, he's a legitimate 20/20 threat and isn't that expensive with an NFBC ADP of 147.
