Yankees to Promote George Lombard Jr. and Heliot Ramos Ahead of Game Against Cardinals

The New York Yankees are preparing to promote top prospect George Lombard Jr. and Heliot Ramos as they face the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday. The Cardinals, who recently secured a 13-7 victory, are aiming for their third straight win after a challenging July.

Alec Burleson, who recently achieved a three-homer game, expressed satisfaction with remaining with the Cardinals despite trade rumors. He contributed significantly to the team's recent success, hitting two-run homers during the game against the Yankees.

Ramos, acquired from the San Francisco Giants, is expected to join the Yankees after a solid season, while Lombard, the Yankees' first-round pick in 2020, has been performing well in Triple-A. To accommodate their arrival, the Yankees have optioned outfielder Jasson Dominguez and shortstop Anthony Volpe to Triple-A.
