Dominguez, 31, was acquired by the Jays from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline in exchange for prospect Juaron Watts-Brown as the team looked to upgrade the back end of their bullpen. Dominguez pitched 24 games for Toronto down the stretch of the regular season and turned in a 3.00 ERA, giving him a 3.16 ERA in 67 total appearances on the season.
He also appeared in 12 postseason contests and pitched in five of Toronto’s seven World Series games.
A native of Esperanza in the Dominican Republic, Dominguez pitched his first five and a half MLB seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies before being dealt to the Orioles mid-way through the 2024 campaign. He owns a 3.50 ERA in 322 career regular-season appearances.
