Yankees’ Cabrera Faces Long Recovery After Ankle Injury

New York Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera suffered a severe left ankle fracture with ligament damage on May 12 while scoring on a sacrifice fly. He underwent surgery and is currently using a scooter and walking boot, with doctors indicating he cannot bear weight for at least another month. While both Cabrera and manager Aaron Boone say a return this season is unlikely, they acknowledge a small possibility of a late-season or postseason comeback if recovery goes unusually well. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and DJ LeMahieu have been filling in at third base as the Yankees continue to lead the AL East. Cabrera, who was batting .243 with one home run before the injury, remains focused on his rehabilitation and is praised for his positive attitude. His resilience and determination continue to motivate the team.
