George Lombard Jr. discusses Anthony Volpe as Yankees recall shortstop

The New York Yankees recalled shortstop Anthony Volpe to the major league roster on September 10, 2026, following an injury to Jazz Chisholm Jr. Volpe returns to the big league club after spending time with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he recorded a.284 batting average and 10 home runs over 28 games. George Lombard Jr., who transitioned to the shortstop position after Volpe's demotion in August, expressed anticipation about working alongside Volpe. The team intends to utilize Volpe at second base moving forward. This roster adjustment follows a 6-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies, a game highlighted by a grand slam from Lombard. New York continues its series against Colorado as it manages a depleted infield depth chart due to Chisholm’s right thumb sprain.
