Yankees Place Oswaldo Cabrera on IL with Fractured Ankle Activate DJ LeMahieu

Oswaldo Cabrera, the New York Yankees' versatile third baseman, suffered a fractured left ankle during a slide to score in the ninth inning of a game against the Seattle Mariners, leading to his placement on the 10-day injured list. Despite the injury, Cabrera remained conscious and was able to communicate with teammates before being taken off the field by ambulance. The Yankees activated veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu from the injured list to fill Cabrera's spot on the roster, with LeMahieu expected to contribute at third base and second base amid ongoing lineup adjustments. Cabrera, known for his upbeat attitude and solid performance, had been hitting .243 with one home run and 11 RBIs this season, and his injury is a significant blow to the team. LeMahieu, coming off a strong rehab showing in the minors, faces pressure to maintain the team's performance given his recent struggles and injuries. The Yankees and fans alike are hopeful for Cabrera's recovery and eventual return to the field.
