Lombard Knee Update & Roster Moves | New York Yankees News

Rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. is inching back from knee discomfort after a clean MRI, with manager Aaron Boone calling it day-to-day while Jose Caballero steps in at short. Lombard’s rehab progress looks promising, though an IL stint isn’t off the table if symptoms linger. Meanwhile, Ryan McMahon and John Schreiber join the roster via September expansion—McMahon recovering from a thumb sprain, Schreiber a waiver pickup with a solid ERA. Clarke Schmidt gears up for his second rehab start as a reliever, showing promise in his first outing. And Ben Rice returns to leadoff duties for the first time in weeks, continuing his strong offensive run, as Gerrit Cole takes the mound against the Angels.
