Yankees Call Up Top Prospect George Lombard Jr.
The 21-year-old shortstop and 2023 first-round pick is set to make his MLB debut after a strong Triple-A campaign.
The New York Yankees are promoting infielder George Lombard Jr. to the major league roster, as reported by YES Network's Jack Curry. The 21-year-old was the Yankees' top pick in the 2023 MLB Draft and has posted a .284/.411/.498 slash line with a 157 wRC+ across 78 minor league games in 2026. Since June 1, he has hit .352/.470/.648 with a 183 wRC+ in 30 games at Triple-A. Lombard is regarded as an elite defensive shortstop and missed some time earlier with a sprained finger before returning strong after the All-Star break.
