George Lombard

The Yankees reassigned shortstop George Lombard Jr. to minor league camp, per team reports.

Fantasy Impact

Lombard, 19 until June 2, turned heads this spring—5-for-19 with a walk, two homers, and four RBI across 10 games, despite a 0-for-3 Monday vs. the Tigers—his first-round pedigree and raw talent offset 2024’s contact woes in Single-A Tampa, eyeing a Double-A jump with growth. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should have him stashed; a big upper-minors year could send his stock soaring.
