What Happened to Oswaldo Cabrera?

At the top of the ninth inning of the May 12 game against the Mariners, Oswaldo sprinted to home plate and managed to avoid a tag by Seattle’s catcher Cal Raleigh. But in avoiding the tag, Oswaldo’s ankle appeared to buckle under him as he touched home plate in time to score. He was then seen wincing in pain and breathing heavily while lying face down on the ground.

Team personnel rushed to tend to Oswaldo’s injury and called in an ambulance to take the athlete away on a stretcher. His teammates gathered around him while the rest of T-Mobile park applauded and cheered for Oswaldo.

After the game ended, the Mariners tweeted, “Wishing the best for Oswaldo Cabrera.” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that everyone understood this was “a pretty serious situation.”

“Just praying for our guy Cabby tonight and hoping for the best, and trusting he’s in good hands as he goes through the night here,” Aaron said. “Obviously, a great game in a lot of ways, but a lot of guys feeling for their teammate, who is the best of the best of them.”
