Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided some injury updates prior to Monday’s series opener in Cleveland…

On Jasson Dominguez…

Dominguez will continue his rehab assignment in Triple-A this week.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre is off on Monday night, but the young outfielder will be back out there when the team returns to action each of the next two days.

Dominguez is scheduled to play four-to-five innings, then the Yanks will see how he's feeling after that.

The 23-year-old went hitless with three strikeouts across seven at-bats over his first two appearances last week.

Boone said that the Yankees still don’t have a set number of games he may need.

Dominguez, of course, has been sidelined since suffering a sprained AC joint in his left shoulder making a great catch into the left-center field fence on May 7.

On Giancarlo Stanton…

Stanton, on the other hand, could be a bit closer to returning.

While the team doesn’t have an exact timeline on him either, Boone is hopeful that he may be able to return sometime during the next homestand.

The Yanks visit the Guardians and Jays, before returning to the Bronx to host the White Sox and Reds next week.

Stanton will continue his running progression and throwing program in New York over the next few days after logging his first two live BP sessions over the last week.

The oft-injured slugger has now missed a total of 39 games after straining his right calf jogging to second on a walk during a game in late May.

Getting him, and eventually Dominguez, back in the mix would be a huge boost for the Yanks lineup with Aaron Judge set to miss a significant amount of time.
