George Lombard Jr., a 20-year-old prospect for the New York Yankees, has been reassigned to the minor-league camp after a poor performance in the Grapefruit League. Despite being just 20 years old, Lombard is expected to be major-league ready within a year or a year. His performance was praised by manager Aaron Boone, coaching staff, and other Yankees players for his consistency and ability to play shortstop and hit.

He will likely repeat Double-A before potentially earning a promotion to Triple-A at some point.
