Yankees 3b Oswaldo Cabrera takes the first comments after Brutal ankle injury: “My return to the field begins today”

by

The New York Yankees -infield Oswaldo Cabrera is committed to returning to the baseball field as soon as possible. Cabrera, who had to be taken out of the field in an ambulance after a cruel ankle injury on Monday, made his first public comments since his injury and informed the fans that his comeback now begins.

Cabrera, 26, made these comments on Instagram. In a long post, Cabrera thanked everyone who was turned to him after his injury. Cabrera also revealed that he was operated on the ankle and was ready to attack his rehab.

“My return to the field begins today,” wrote Cabrera. “Thanks to you, I feel more motivated than ever before.”

Cabrera replied to his own post and thanked a number of people who were injured in the night he was injured. He called both Aaron Richter and Anthony Volpe, who appeared in the hospital to be at Cabrera after the injury. He also called out a member of the Yankees staff – head coach Tim Lentych – because he was in the field with Cabrera and had taken over the situation.

It is unclear how much time Cabrera will miss due to the injury. The Yankees put Cabrera on the 10-day injury list on Tuesday, but its recovery is expected to take much longer. The team did not comment on whether Cabrera can return this season.

Since Cabrera was called in 2022, he has served as an occasional starter and bank option for the Yankees. He has a .234/.296/.346 slash line over 949 record appearances in the majors. When Cabrera fails, the Yankees will rely on second and third place on a combination of DJ Lemahieu, Jorbit Vivas and Oswald Peraza.
