Manager Aaron Boone hasn’t ruled out an IL stint, leaving fans uneasy. Before this, Lombard struggled defensively (six errors in six games) and offensively (.143 batting average). Meanwhile, reliever John Schreiber and third baseman Ryan McMahon are set to return after injuries. If Lombard goes down, Anthony Volpe is likely the next call-up.
