Despite being struck out and flying out in his first two at-bats, Lombard showcased his potential, earning praise from Wheeler and Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe for his strong offensive and defensive play. Lombard is hitting .429 with a 1.372 OPS through eight games, indicating a bright future as he solidifies his role in the infield.
