Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone told reporters on Saturday evening that the club is hopeful that George Lombard Jr. (knee) is dealing with a day-to-day type of injury.

The Yankees are still waiting on the results of the MRI exam that Lombard underwent after making an early exit from the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Red Sox, but it sounds like they’re optimistic that he was able to avoid any sort of significant injury. Expect the club to provide another update on his status prior to Sunday’s series finale.
