“It is difficult to see him down like this,” said Mendoza, before the Mets and Pirates continued their series on the Citi Field on Tuesday. “This is a guy who had to fight all his life. I know that he will fight and he will be back in the field.”

Cabrera, which was placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday after the injury, logged 167 games in the regular season and playoffs with Mendoza to the Yankees-Dugout before becoming a manager after the 2023 Mets season.
