Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr. leaves game vs. Red Sox with right knee discomfort
New York Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. left Saturday's second game of a doubleheader against Boston due to right knee discomfort. After checking his swing on a 2-2 pitch from Brayan Bello in the second inning, Lombard grimaced and held his right knee. Despite staying in the game, Lombard did not take the field in the fourth inning.
The Yankees stated that Lombard was receiving imaging at New York-Presbyterian hospital. Lombard, 21, made his big league debut on Aug. 4 and has hit .253 with two homers and six RBIs in 23 games since joining the team. He has also committed seven errors in his debut season.
