Signed for a $5.1 million bonus as a 16-year-old, Domínguez made his big league debut on Sept. 1 in Houston and was hitting .258 with four homers and seven RBIs in eight games.
"Crushed for him," manager Aaron Boone said,"At the same time, he's a young man and these things resolve themselves, so it's a moment in time in the grand scheme of things in what we feel like has a chance to be a long, excellent career. So it's about taking care of it now.""He couldn't pop the ball or really hit it hard," Boone said,"so we brought him up and he went and got testing during the game.
"I felt like something wasn't right, but not preventing me to play," he said."We had a day off on Monday, so Tuesday felt about the same. But warming up and getting loose for the game, that's the point where I could play. And then Wednesday, that's when I told the trainers that I was feeling some kind of discomfort that wasn't going away. And since Wednesday it has gotten progressively worse.
"The plan is to go through surgery as soon as possible and try to recuperate as soon as possible," Domínguez said. Domínguez reached base in each of his first seven games before going 0 for 4 with three strikeouts in Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Brewers.
