Lombard Out With Knee Injury | New York Yankees News

Yankees rookie George Lombard Jr. had to exit Saturday’s game against the Red Sox after knee pain flared during his at-bat — but not before he hit a crucial single and even came back up to bat again. The 21-year-old, who made history with his first home run since joining the team in August, is now sidelined as imaging tests await results. Already struggling with seven errors — including a six-game error streak — Lombard’s absence opens the door for José Caballero at shortstop and Amed Rosario at third. Fans are holding their breath as the Yankees wait to see how long this young star will be out. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
