"After being almost 10 months not playing and being down there with my guys, it's something that feels like it's my MLB debut or my first World Series appearance. You can't imagine how happy I feel."
"That was one of the most beautiful things that happened that night. That night, to be honest, was horrible, obviously, for what happened. But at the same time, with the fans, with the coaches, with the personal trainers that we have, with the teammates that I have, and, obviously, family and everybody . . . They did a really nice job of showing the love, showing me the support I needed in that moment."
Oswaldo Cabrera made his return to game action in a Grapefruit League game for the Yankees against the Rays after nearly ten months away from competition. The last time Cabrera played was May 12 when he suffered a gruesome left ankle fracture while sliding into home plate at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. He underwent surgery three days later and received extensive support from teammates, coaches, trainers, and the organization during his recovery. Cabrera expressed immense gratitude for the love and support shown by Judge, Boone, Volpe, and others during his rehabilitation. Playing shortstop in Friday's spring training game felt momentous to Cabrera, comparable to an MLB debut or World Series appearance.
