Lombard Knee Update & Gil’s Return | MLB News

Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. sat out Sunday’s game with knee discomfort, but scans reveal no structural damage—just some inflammation and soreness around his kneecap. He’s now day to day, with José Caballero stepping in at shortstop. Since joining the team on August 4, Lombard has been a bright spot, batting .253 with two homers and six RBIs in 23 games—including a debut home run. Meanwhile, pitcher Luis Gil has been recalled from Triple-A after overcoming shoulder inflammation, posting a 1-0 record and a 2.25 ERA in the minors. His return means reliever Yerry De Los Santos was optioned back down, having pitched both games of Saturday’s doubleheader with strong numbers.
