Yankees rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. exited early from the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox due to right knee discomfort. Lombard tweaked his knee during an at-bat in the second inning, per MLB Trade Rumors, and appeared visibly uncomfortable after the swing. He stayed in the game briefly before being lifted.

The Yankees are expecting Lombard to be day to day with the injury, per MLB.com. New York won the nightcap 9-2 in what was split with the Red Sox on Saturday.
