Yankees Rookie Knee Issue, Gil Returns | New York Yankees News

Yankees rookie George Lombard Jr. missed his first big league game after tweaking his knee on a check swing, but doctors say all ligaments are intact—just some inflammation around the kneecap. He’s day to day, no injections or IL needed, and remains a key part of the lineup despite the setback. Meanwhile, pitcher Luis Gil is back with the Yankees after a stint in Triple-A, having battled shoulder issues and struggled earlier this season. Now healthy and pitching well in the minors, Gil’s return adds depth to the rotation, and the team hopes he can reignite his Rookie of the Year form.
