Lombard Exits With Right Knee Injury, Day-to-Day
The 21-year-old rookie shortstop hurt his knee during an at-bat and was pulled in the fourth inning, though imaging showed no serious damage.
George Lombard Jr. tweaked his right knee during an at-bat in the second inning of Saturday's Yankees-Red Sox nightcap. He remained in the game briefly before being replaced in the fourth inning by José Caballero, who shifted from third to short. Post-game imaging did not reveal a significant injury, and manager Aaron Boone described the situation as day-to-day. Lombard had started every game at shortstop since his Aug. 4 promotion, so his availability for upcoming games is uncertain.
