2024 Fantasy Outlook
Dominguez had re-established himself as one of Philadelphia's most reliable relievers during the 2022 season, but he wasn't able to replicate that same success last year. The Dominican native struggled to a 3.78 ERA (4.67 xERA, 4.83 FIP) and 1.40 WHIP in 2023, while his strikeout rate plummeted by 8.1 percentage points to a below-average 21.4 percent. This was a significant drop for the 29-year-old, whose K-rate had been near or above 30 percent in every season prior. Dominguez's -0.73 WPA was dead last among Phillies relief pitchers one year after leading this unit in that statistic. He also missed over a month with an oblique strain. Dominguez's slider is effective, but he only throws it 27 percent of the time. He might be able to retain a high-leverage role if he throws the pitch more often, but he seems likely to work in middle relief for 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Focusing on consistency
Dominguez is focusing on his mindset this spring in an effort to stop overthinking as he looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2023 season, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Dominguez's ERA rose from 3.00 in 2022 to 3.78 in 2023, with his 4.90 xFIP suggesting that things could easily have been a good deal worse. Of particular concern is Dominguez's strikeout rate, which dropped from 29.5 percent to 21.4 percent. Per Coffey's report, the righty isn't overhauling his delivery or pitch mix this winter, instead focusing on, "trying to manage his delivery less now, rather than thinking about it when he's halfway down the mound." Whether or not that helps Dominguez get back to peak form, something which is needed if he's to carve out save chances in a deep Phillies bullpen, remains to be seen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return Monday
Dominguez has been sidelined since mid-June due to an oblique strain but could be activated as early as Monday, Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Dominguez tossed a second rehab outing Sunday and delivered a scoreless inning with three strikeouts, so he's one step closer to returning to the big leagues. If there are no setbacks after this dominant outing, Dominguez could be on his way to return to the Phillies' bullpen sooner than later. He owns a 4.33 ERA across 27 innings pitched in 2023.

Dominguez returned in 2022 after losing almost two full seasons to Tommy John surgery. After a strong spring, he made 54 appearances for the Phillies, totaling 51 innings with a 3.00 ERA (3.15 SIERA) and 1.14 WHIP. The 28-year-old was Philadelphia's highest leverage reliever, as evidenced by his team-leading 1.33 WPA and 1.67 gmLI. He earned six wins and finished second on the team with nine saves, all of which came after Corey Knebel was ousted as closer in mid-June. Dominguez averaged 98 mph on his heater and had a solid 89th percentile whiff rate, thanks to his slider. However, the contact he did allow was often hard with a bottom 5% rate of 45.5%. His poor 58% first-pitch strike percentage yielded a 10.6% walk rate that was also well below average. Craig Kimbrel inked a one-year, $10 million deal and could be the favorite for saves, and Philadelphia also acquired Detroit's closer Gregory Soto. It seems likely to be a committee approach for the Phillies, which figures to dilute the fantasy potential of all three pitchers.
