Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera left Monday night’s win over the Mariners in an ambulance after suffering a gruesome left injury.
Cabrera scored New York’s 11th run of the night on an Aaron Judge sacrifice fly in the ninth — but he had to sidestep the catcher to avoid a tag as he was trying to score, and he appeared to injure himself as he did so.
He went down in a heap of pain as he reached back to touch home plate, and trainer Tim Lentych immediately raced out of the dugout.
The T-Mobile Park crowd fell silent as Cabrera remained down for several moments at home plate and an ambulance made it’s way in from center field.
After being loaded onto a gurney, he was taken in the ambulance to a local hospital.
“Everyone understands it’s a pretty serious situation,” Aaron Boone said postgame. “We’re just praying for our guy Cabby tonight and hoping for the best and trust that he’s in good hands as he goes through the night here.”
The Yanks went on to close out the victory, beating the Mariners 11-5 for their second straight win.
