Yankees’ win over Mariners overshadowed by Oswaldo Cabrera’s scary injury: ‘Your heart breaks’
NY Post
SEATTLE – A feel-good win for the Yankees quickly turned somber in the ninth inning Monday night.
Oswaldo Cabrera scored on a sacrifice fly but in the process suffered what appeared to be a serious ankle injury that forced him to leave the field on a stretcher in an ambulance with his left leg in an air cast.
The energetic, always-smiling and beloved third baseman had to sidestep the catcher to avoid a tag but then as he pivoted back toward the plate, his ankle appeared to give out. He hit the deck and reached out to touch home, but his ankle was bent the wrong way as trainer Tim Lentych immediately raced out to tend to Cabrera.
A hush fell over T-Mobile Park as medical personnel quickly called for the ambulance and Cabrera writhed in pain on the ground.
Manager Aaron Boone and a few teammates surrounded home plate while in the visiting dugout, the Yankees looked on with concern, many with their heads in their hands, for their teammate, who has always been a bundle of joy since he arrived in the big leagues in 2022.
“That’s terrible,” said Aaron Judge, who hit the sacrifice fly and then quickly got back to the plate to be with Cabrera. “Especially how much Cabrera means to this team, for him to get hurt on a play like that, it speaks volumes of the type of guy he is. … Everybody in here feels terrible, just because we know how much he works, how hard he works, how much he loves and cares for everybody in this room, the way he would treat every game, every day he got to be up here was such a blessing.
