Yankees Call Up Top Prospect Lombard Jr. for MLB Debut Amid Injury Gaps
The Yankees promoted top infield prospect George Lombard Jr. to the majors for his debut, likely at shortstop, as injuries to Judge, Bellinger and Stanton test the lineup; Lombard, who slashed .284/.411/.498 with 12 home runs across three minors, could provide an immediate offensive boost and is projected to bat eighth in his debut as the club chases a playoff spot.
