Lombard’s Knee Injury Could Shake Up Yankees | New York Yankees News

Yankees top prospect George Lombard Jr. may be sidelined after injuring his right knee during a doubleheader against the Red Sox, forcing him out in the fourth inning. Imaging is scheduled tonight to assess the damage. Lombard, who debuted in August and is batting .253 with 2 homers and 6 RBIs, had a rough stretch with 6 straight errors — but the knee is the real concern. His injury could open the door for Anthony Volpe, who’s been sidelined since his call-up, or Jos Caballero, with Ryan McMahon nearing a return. Fans are watching closely — this young star’s health could reshape the Yankees’ infield. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
