Yankees to promote George Lombard Jr., demote Anthony Volpe in major shift

The New York Yankees promoted top prospect George Lombard Jr., 21, to the majors, making him the fifth-youngest Yankee to debut in MLB history. To accommodate the move, incumbent shortstop Anthony Volpe, 25, was demoted to the minor leagues for a reset. The roster shift came shortly after Monday's trade deadline and ends a season-long debate over who should start at shortstop for New York.
