The New York Yankees called up top prospect George Lombard Jr. after the MLB trade deadline, adding a key piece of their future to the major league roster. The move comes as the team received poor marks for its deadline activity. An evaluation of every team's moves gave the Yankees and the Baltimore Orioles D grades, while the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Nationals earned A's. The Dodgers added Tarik Skubal, and the Boston Red Sox added Adley Rutschman, while the Yankees made little movement. Teams can still make additions despite the deadline passing. The old August waiver deadline is gone, but rosters are not locked, leaving other paths for teams to acquire players.
