Here’s a recap of the latest updates on the New York Yankees:
-
Aaron Judge’s Return: Aaron Judge is traveling with the Yankees on their West Coast trip and is expected to ramp up his training, including taking batting practice. While it’s unlikely he will play during this trip, there’s potential for his return during the next homestand, according to Aaron Boone.
-
George Lombard Jr.’s Injury: Rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. left a recent game due to knee discomfort. Thankfully, he has avoided structural damage but may still end up on the injured list. He reported some improvement, though stiffness and inflammation remain. Jose Caballero filled in at shortstop during Lombard’s absence, while Anthony Volpe continues to gain experience at Triple-A.
-
Bullpen Dynamics: The Yankees recently called up Luis Gil, potentially adding a new option to their bullpen. With a competitive atmosphere expected in September, both Gil and Clarke Schmidt could vie for positions, especially with limited certainty beyond a few established pitchers. Performance in the upcoming games will be crucial as the team prepares for October.
