Lombard’s Knee Concerns | MLB News

Yankees rookie George Lombard Jr. exited Saturday’s game against Boston due to knee discomfort, prompting imaging tests — results pending — while manager Aaron Boone calls him day to day. The 22-year-old, who made history with a debut homer and is batting .253 with 2 HRs and 6 RBIs in 23 games, stayed in the game twice despite grimacing during his at-bat, even getting a single before being removed. His arrival added depth to the shortstop rotation, but he’s struggled defensively with 7 errors, including a six-error streak — the first for a Yankee shortstop since 1915. With his future uncertain, fans wait to see when he’ll return.
