Acquired as part of the Nathan Eovaldi-Martin Prado trade this offseason, Domingo German’s first season with the Yankees appears to be over before it began. German flew to New York earlier on Sunday, where he said on his Instagram page that he is set to undergo Tommy John surgery. The Yankees have yet to confirm the surgery.

German, 22, spent 2014 pitching for Greensboro in the South Atlantic League. In 25 starts, he posted a 9-3 record with a 2.48 ERA and struck out 113 hitters in 123 1/3 innings pitched. German pitched one inning for the Yankees this spring, striking out one of the five hitters he faced before being optioned to High-A Tampa.

The Marlins’ lone Futures Game representative in 2014, German possesses a low-to-mid 90s fastball which he has paired with an average breaking ball and a passable change-up. He was slated to begin the season with Tampa, but could very well have pitched his way into Trenton’s rotation before season’s end if not for the injury. At Rolling Thunder, we had rated him as the tenth-best prospect in the farm system this offseason.
