Dominguez

No word on what he tested positive for. Dominguez, now 22 years old, joined the Dodgers as a 16-year-old back in 2007 and has a 4.57 ERA over five seasons in the minors. He has only pitched in five games above A-ball.

This was done merely as a procedural move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Nick Buss, who had his contract purchased on Saturday. The hard-throwing right-hander registered a 2.16 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 4/3 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings with the Dodgers this season before hitting the disabled list in late July with a strained quad.

Dominguez has been out since late July with a strained quad. If he progresses well from here on out, there’s a chance he could be activated for the final week.

Dominguez has posted a 3.79 ERA and 36/25 K/BB ratio over 35 2/3 innings for El Paso this season. The 25-year-old throws very hard but often has no clue where the ball is going.

Dominguez, 26, was added to the 40-man roster back in July and went on to post a 5.05 ERA and 20/17 K/BB ratio over 35 2/3 innings with the big club. The move gives the Padres some extra wiggle room this offseason.

Like Jemile Weeks, Dominguez chose free agency over accepting a minor league assignment. The 26-year-old owns a 4.82 ERA over 52 appearances in the majors.

Dominguez owns a 4.82 ERA over 52 appearances in the majors, but he throws really hard and will now try to harness it in the Giants’ organization. He’ll get a shot next spring to win a bullpen spot.

Dominguez was hoping to carve a spot for himself in the Giants’ bullpen but looked sluggish over five Cactus League outings, contributing a 5.79 ERA during that span. San Francisco’s roster is down to 39 with a little over a week to go before the regular season.

He tested positive for Stanozolol. The suspension will knock Dominguez out for the entire minor league campaign. The 26-year-old was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento after producing an underwhelming 5.79 ERA over five Cactus League appearances this spring. Dominguez logged a 5.05 ERA over 34 outings for the Padres last season.

The 24-year-old didn’t allow a run in his 5 2/3 innings with the big league club, posting a 5/2 K/BB ratio. He should get another opportunity in Tampa Bay relatively soon.
