The New York Yankees remain confident in shortstop George Lombard Jr. after he commits an error for a sixth consecutive game. Both outlets report that the rookie’s error streak continues into a new day, prompting attention on whether the team will change course.
Despite the prolonged run of mistakes, the Yankees do not indicate a plan to remove Lombard Jr. from play. Yahoo Sports says the manager and teammates express belief that he will work through the slump. The New York Post similarly reports that the club is sticking with the 21-year-old shortstop while he continues to play shortstop.
The accounts focus less on specific game details and more on the organization’s response to the streak. While both agree the errors have piled up, they emphasize the same overall angle: the Yankees are supportive and continue giving Lombard Jr. opportunities rather than making an immediate adjustment.
