Yankees’ Oswaldo Cabrera Suffers Gruesome Ankle Injury, Leaves Field in Ambulance After Scoring Run
A routine game took a terrifying turn for the New York Yankees on Monday night when infielder Oswaldo Cabrera suffered what appeared to be a severe ankle injury while scoring a run against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park.
Cabrera was rounding third and sliding into home in the late innings, pushing the Yankees’ lead to 11–5, when disaster struck. As he slid across the plate, his ankle twisted at an unnatural angle, immediately sending him into visible and intense pain. The moment was as brutal as it was sudden.
He collapsed just beyond home plate, slamming his fists into the dirt in agony while clutching his leg. The reaction from players and fans alike was instant — teammates rushed toward him, concern etched on their faces, while trainers and medical staff sprinted onto the field.
The game came to a halt for an extended delay as the situation escalated. Moments later, in a scene no fan ever wants to witness, an ambulance was driven onto the field. Cabrera was carefully stabilized, placed on a stretcher, and loaded into the vehicle as players and spectators stood in stunned silence.

Cabrera has been a valuable and versatile piece of the Yankees’ lineup, and the loss could prove significant both emotionally and competitively.
More updates on his condition are expected soon — but one thing is clear: this was a devastating moment in an otherwise dominant night for New York.
