Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Signed INF George Lombard Jr. (#96) to a Major League contract and selected him to the active roster.
• Recalled RHP Yerry de los Santos (#73) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
• Added OF Heliot Ramos (#34) to the active roster.
BREAKING: Eric Baptizat, a 16-year Assassin's Creed veteran and former Game Director on Dead Space and Battlefield 6, is returning to the franchise as a Game Director.
Jean Guesdon, Head of Content for Assassin's Creed, confirmed the news.
Baptizat previously served as Lead Game Designer on AC IV: Black Flag, Unity, and Origins, before directing AC Valhalla.
Which Assassin's Creed game do you think he'll be leading next?
Yankees win tonight and last night is forgotten. Simple as that. Win tomorrow and we never think about yesterday. 2/3 will always get you where you want to be.
Nope. He will be the SS at AAA everyday for the next 20 games and he will be up in September and platoon with Jazz. It will be his real last shot but if he can be a .700 OPS at 2B with good defense he will be the UTL guy next year.
Wells is getting hot (we know what he can do)
Jazz needs to find it but don’t overlook Luciano coming up and platooning
McMahon and Cabby need to split but could also be a spot for Luciano
Lombard is up and will be at SS everyday.
Yankees OPS by position this season:
C: .556 (29th in MLB)
2B: .662 (23rd in MLB)
3B: .645 (23rd in MLB)
SS: .696 (15th in MLB)
They acquired 1B/DH Luis Garcia and OF Heliot Ramos.
I still think Volpe could be up in September after he gets 20ish games at 2B in AAA. He won’t start over Jazz but it gives the Yankees a RH bat to play 2B.
Lombard will play SS tonight. I fully expect him to play only SS. I’ve seen people speculate but there is no reason to move him around cause we don’t have a SS. Cabby is better as UTL and Volpe long term is a 2B.
@MaxMannis Second base when Jazz walks but not a guarantee. He has to hit in the minors and play good defense. Also I expect him up again this year after he plays 10-15 games at 2B and he is a backup INF
Ok this is very important. If Volpe plays SS in AAA tomorrow or Wednesday he will not be back up this year. But if they are smart (they are) he plays 2B everyday until October. Volpe will be on the playoff roster as the backup SS/2B with Cabby as the backup 3B.
@YankeeSource He has an option. He will go down when GLJ comes up and he will get reps at 2B. He will be back up for the playoffs as the backup SS and 2B.
