Mon May 19 01:20:00 UTC 2025: **Yankees’ Cabrera Likely Out for Season After Gruesome Ankle Injury**
**New York, NY** – The New York Yankees are reeling after infielder Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a fractured ankle while attempting to score during a recent game against the Mariners. Manager Aaron Boone has stated it’s “probably unlikely” that Cabrera will return to play in 2025.
The injury occurred on May 13th when Cabrera twisted his ankle making a slide at the plate. He was immediately taken off the field on a stretcher and transported to a local hospital. Subsequent tests revealed not only a fracture but also significant ligament damage, making the surgery more complex than initially anticipated.
Cabrera, 26, took to Instagram after the surgery, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support he received from fans, teammates, and the organization. Despite the setback, he maintained a positive outlook.
With Cabrera sidelined, the Yankees infield depth is being tested. DJ LeMahieu, recently reinstated from the injured list, is expected to see increased playing time. However, the team’s options at second and third base remain uncertain. Other players being considered include Jorbit Vivas, Pablo Reyes, and Oswald Peraza.
Beyond the current roster, the Yankees’ minor league system offers limited immediate replacements. Whether the team will look to acquire external help via trade remains to be seen.
