George Lombard Jr. exited the second game of a doubleheader against the Red Sox on August 29, 2026, due to right knee discomfort after awkwardly checking his swing in the second inning. The Yankees announced he will undergo an MRI that night. Although Lombard managed to single in the third inning, he was replaced in the fourth, leading to Jose Caballero moving to shortstop. If Lombard requires an injured list stint, the Yankees may consider recalling Anthony Volpe from Triple-A.
