Not in Wednesday's lineup
Lombard (knee) is not in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Wednesday.
Analyse
Lombard will be out of the Yankees' lineup for a fourth consecutive game while recovering from right knee inflammation. He has been cleared to run and do light work on the field, and with the Yankees off Thursday, Lombard could be back in action for Friday's series opener against the Padres. Jose Caballero will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Lombard's absence Wednesday.

Will be held out again Tuesday
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on the "Talkin' Yanks" podcast by Jomboy Media that Lombard (knee) will remain out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.
Analyse
Nursing right knee inflammation, Lombard ran and took grounders pregame Monday and will likely do so again Tuesday, but he will be held out of the lineup for the third consecutive contest. Boone reiterated Tuesday that he does not anticipate Lombard requiring a stint on the injured list, though he didn't completely rule it out. The Yankees wrap up their series against the Angels on Wednesday and are idle Thursday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if Lombard is held out until Friday in San Diego. Jose Caballero has been filling in at shortstop for the Bronx Bombers.

Remains out Monday
Lombard (knee) is not listed in the Yankees' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday, per Chris Kirschner of The Athletic.
Analyse
Lombard will miss his second consecutive game after injuring himself during Saturday's matchup against Boston. Jose Caballero will once again man shortstop and bat eighth for New York. Manager Aaron Boone noted before the matchup that Lombard did some running earlier in the day, and he's unsure if the rookie will be available off the bench, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.

Out Sunday
Lombard (knee) is out of the Yankees' lineup for Sunday's game with the Red Sox.
Analyse
Lombard will get his first day off since being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Aug. 4. The 21-year-old injured himself on a check swing during the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader with Boston, and while his knee checked out fine structurally, he's managing some inflammation, per Meredith Marakovits of YES Network. Jose Caballero will take over at shortstop for the Yankees.

Injury considered day-to-day
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Saturday's 9-2 win over Boston that Lombard's knee injury appears to be a day-to-day situation, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Analyse
Lombard picked up the injury on a check swing during the second game of Saturday's doubleheader. The Yankees are still evaluating the results of Lombard's imaging, but the initial signs indicate that the 21-year-old shortstop has avoided a serious injury. Lombard may be held out of the lineup for a couple of days while continuing to be evaluated, which would open the door to more playing time for Jose Caballero and Amed Rosario.

Exits Saturday's game
Lombard was removed from the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox due to right knee discomfort, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Analyse
Lombard appeared to tweak his right knee during his plate appearance in the third inning on a check-swing. He stayed in to finish his at-bat before being replaced by Amed Rosario in the top of the fourth. Lombard will undergo further tests to determine the nature and severity of his knee injury, and the Yankees should have an update on the 21-year-old's status during or shortly after Saturday's contest.
