I am REALLY pulling for a successful surgery and rehab and hope that he returns at 100%...has a very long and productive career.
...these hopes are not so much for me, as a fan, as the are Jasson.

Yankees' Jasson Dominguez to undergo Tommy John surgery next week.

BOSTON --
Yankees top prospect
Jasson Domínguez will have Tommy John surgery next Wednesday, manager Aaron Boone said Thursday morning before they played the
Red Soxin a split doubleheader.
"Jasson is going to have surgery next Wednesday," Boone said, sitting in the dugout while talking to reporters.
The 20-year-old center fielder was scratched from Sunday's series finale against
Milwaukee because his right elbow limited his swing during batting practice.
Boone said the recovery time for a position player is nine to 10 months.
"It was just essentially getting, making sure, obviously when you're talking about major surgery, having a few doctors look at it, to see everything and make the recommendations and Jasson picking a surgeon he wanted to go with with," Boone said.
On the timetable for Domínguez's return, Boone said: "He's got to have the surgery first. That's just a standard months for what it takes for a position player to be all the way back."
Signed for a $5.1 million bonus as a 16-year-old, Domínguez made his big league debut Sept. 1 in Houston and was hitting .258 with four homers and seven RBIs in eight games.
The Yankees placed center fielder
Harrison Bader on waivers last month, opening a spot for Dominguez.
New York enters Thursday's doubleheader tied for last in the AL East with
Boston.
