Yankees’ Cabrera Suffers Fractured Ankle, Faces Surgery

New York Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a left ankle fracture while sliding into home plate during an 11-5 win over the Seattle Mariners, resulting in his placement on the 10-day injured list and an anticipated long-term absence. Medical personnel transported Cabrera from the field by ambulance, and he is likely to undergo surgery after evaluation by specialists in New York. Cabrera, who had been a regular contributor this season, is being supported by teammates and fans, with Aaron Judge and others publicly expressing concern. The Yankees have activated DJ LeMahieu from the injured list to help fill the third base vacancy, but longer-term solutions are still under consideration. Past Yankees ankle injuries, such as Derek Jeter's, indicate recovery may be unpredictable. The team awaits further updates as Cabrera's recovery timeline remains uncertain.
