Oswaldo Cabrera, third baseman for the New York Yankees, announced via social media that he successfully underwent ankle surgery and is aiming to return to the diamond. The injury occurred during a game against the Seattle Mariners while he was scoring a run on a sacrifice fly. Though placed on the 10-day injured list, Cabrera expressed his determination with an inspiring message on Instagram, although it remains uncertain if he will play again this season. This season, he has a .243 batting average with one home run and 11 RBIs in 34 games.
"My return to the field begins today," Cabrera wrote in an Instagram post late Thursday night.
Cabrera sustained the gruesome injury while scoring on Aaron Judge's sacrifice fly in the ninth inning of the Yankees' 11-5 victory.
He was able to touch home before screaming in agony as trainers from both teams rushed to his side.
It was not immediately known if Cabrera will be able to return to the field this season.
