The New York Yankees are reportedly promoting their top prospect to the next level in the minors. Shortstop George Lombard Jr., MLB Pipeline 's No. 27 overall prospect for 2026, is expected to be called up from the Double-A Somerset Patriots to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, according to the YES Network's Jack Curry. The 2023 first-round draft pick has been on fire at the plate in Double-A this year, posting a .312 batting average with four home runs, 10 RBIs, and four stolen bases in 20 games. Last year, the young infielder hit .215 in 108 games for Somerset, so he's clearly having more offensive success so far in 2026. And now, the Yankees will look to see if Lombard can carry over his early-season Double-A production into his Triple-A debut.
