Yankees utility player Oswaldo Cabrera has started his recovery following successful ankle surgery after a severe injury during a game. The surgery uncovered some ligament damage that may extend his recovery timeline, making a return this season unlikely. Despite the setback, Cabrera expressed gratitude for the support from fans, teammates, and staff, which has helped uplift his spirits. He remains motivated, declaring his intention to return to the field even stronger than before, and received visits from several teammates in the hospital after the incident.
I would say probably unlikely [he returns this season], but we probably won't know until a week, 10 days in to where we get the doctors' protocols and then the ramp up as you go.
But he said the outpouring of support he received from family, friends, fans, agents, coaches and teammates put a 'big smile' on his face.
My return to the field begins today. Thanks to you, I feel more motivated than ever. So, with the strength I've always had... I will return, and I will return even stronger.
A number of Yankees players and staffers... went to visit Cabrera in the hospital late Monday night before he was discharged.
