Lombard Near MLB Call-Up | New York Yankees News
Description
Yankees’ top prospect George Lombard Jr. is getting a major boost with a rehab assignment to the FCL Yankees, signaling he could be on the verge of a big league call-up this season. The 21-year-old shortstop, a first-round pick in 2021 and ranked 20 overall by MLB Pipeline, is hitting well, showing power and speed, and excelling defensively. With Anthony Volpe and José Caballero struggling at the plate, Lombard could step in to help the Yankees’ playoff push — especially as they lead the AL Wild Card race. His brother Jacob was also a first-round pick this year, adding to the family’s baseball legacy. General Manager Brian Cashman has hinted Lombard may be in the mix for a second-half promotion, making this rehab stint a pivotal moment in his rise.
