Cabrera’s injury occurred after an unusual slide while stretching to touch the plate and score the Yankees’ final run thanks to a sacrifice fly by Aaron Judge.<\/p>\n\n
Manager Aaron Boone reported that Cabrera was fitted with a splint on his left ankle before being transported by ambulance on a stretcher. Cabrera was taken to a hospital, accompanied by the team’s athletic trainer, Tim Lentych.<\/p>\n\n
I think everyone understands that it was a pretty serious situation. So, we just pray for our player tonight and hope for the best. We trust that he is in good hands while he spends the night here.<\/p>Aaron Boone, Yankees Manager<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
Cabrera, 26 years old and originally from Venezuela, remained on the ground for several minutes, visibly affected, while being attended to by medical personnel.<\/p>\n\n
Just before they took him out on a stretcher, he called me and said, ‘Hey, did I score?’. That shows the kind of person he is. Something like that happens to him, and the only thing he’s worried about, despite the pain and everything, is whether he scored.<\/p>Aaron Judge, Yankees Player<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n
In his fourth season in MLB, Cabrera has established himself as a regular player in the Yankees’ lineup. This season, he is batting .243, with one home run and 12 RBIs.<\/p>\n\n
He cares about everyone in this clubhouse. He loves being a Yankee. He wears his jersey with pride. This is a difficult situation, especially for a guy who has fought his whole life and finally had the opportunity to be our everyday player and has been doing very well.<\/p>Aaron Judge, Yankees Player<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
