George Lombard Jr. Goes Deep in Second Straight Game
George Lombard Jr. went deep in his second-straight contest on Sunday during their game against Double-A Hartford. On Sunday, Lombard went 1-for-4 with a long ball. On Saturday facing Hartford, Lombard went 2-for-5 with a double and a long ball. Over his last 11 games, Lombard has tallied five extra-base hits while holding a .711 OPS. After starting the season with High-A, Lombard needed just 24 games to prove he was ready to make the jump to Double-A Somerset. However, the top-ranked prospect in the Yankee system has struggled to find his footing in the upper minor leagues. Through his first 60 games, the shortstop has held a .208/.328/.338 slash line. Given his struggles, he is expected to remain with Somerset throughout the entire second half.
