Lombard Jr. Near Return to Yankees | New York Yankees News
Description
George Lombard Jr. is inching closer to returning to the field after a sprained finger, already back to hitting and fielding drills, with rehab games expected around the All-Star break. If he clears for a minor league assignment, he’ll head back to Triple-A Scranton — and if he performs like his pre-injury self — hitting .231 with an OPS of .765 and 8 steals — he could be headed to the Yankees. His path depends on the shortstop situation in the Bronx, with players like José Caballero and Anthony Volpe in the mix. Before his injury on June 16, the 21-year-old was on fire, batting .306 with an OPS of .998 in his last 14 games at Triple-A, showing major progress.
