Lombard’s Knee Injury Update | Amarillo News

Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. exited Saturday’s game due to knee pain, leaving fans and coaches concerned as he’s now day-to-day with imaging pending. Despite the discomfort, he stayed in to hit a single and took another at-bat before being replaced — José Caballero stepped in at shortstop. At just 21, Lombard made history with his debut homer and is hitting .253 with two homers and six RBIs in 23 games since joining August 4th. But his stint hasn’t been flawless — seven errors, including a six-game error streak, have raised questions about his defensive readiness. The Yankees are watching closely as they weigh his return.
