Dominguez's thumb contusion and Weaver's hamstring discomfort will return to New York for evaluation

The New York Yankees ended their nine-game West Coast road trip with a 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers today, but two new injuries were added: outfielder Jasson Domínguez left with a left thumb contusion during a five-inning base steal, and finisher Luke Weaver missed the board due to hamstring discomfort. The two will be assessed in New York tomorrow on the truce.

Dominguez downplayed the injury: "I don't think there's any need to worry too much. I will conclude after tomorrow's examination, and the pain has been relieved at this moment. The steal occurred during Anthony Volpe's strike, where Dominguez bruised his left thumb without a brace when he slid his head on second base, and he said he might consider wearing protective gear on both hands in the future.

Head coach Aaron Boone had planned to send Weaver to the board in nine innings (when the Yankees were leading by three points), but even with DJ LeMahieu's added hits to extend the advantage, Boone was still intent on making Weaver a non-rescue situation. "I suddenly felt discomfort in the middle of my hamstring when I stretched after the warm-up," Boone explained, "and we made temporary adjustments to the layout and hope that the injury was okay. "

Tim Hill replaced Weaver for the final three outs. Weaver's 1.05 ERA (8 rescues/9 chances) in 24 games this season has been a standout performer since taking over as the Terminator last September. "We'll wait until we get back to New York," Boone concluded.
