Lombard’s Knee Injury Adds Pressure | New York Yankees News

Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. exited Saturday’s game with right knee discomfort, tweaked during an at-bat in the second inning. Though he stayed in and even singled, he was replaced after the third inning by José Caballero at shortstop and Amed Rosario at third. Just 21 and with only 23 MLB games under his belt, Lombard’s early season has been a mix of promising offense — .253 average, two homers, six RBIs — and defensive struggles, including a rare six-error streak. Now, with imaging scheduled for tonight, fans await to see if this setback is minor or major — and how soon he can return to the field.
