SEATTLE — A feel-good night for the Yankees quickly turned somber in the ninth inning Monday.

Oswaldo Cabrera managed to score a run for his team through a sacrifice fly, but unfortunately, he sustained a severe ankle injury during the play. The injury looked serious enough to require him to be taken off the field on a stretcher. He was then transported in an ambulance with his left leg stabilized in an air cast.

The energetic third baseman had to sidestep the catcher to avoid a tag but then as he pivoted back toward the plate, his ankle appeared to give out.

He hit the deck and touched home, but with his ankle bent the wrong way as trainer Tim Lentych immediately raced out to tend to Cabrera.

A hush fell over T-Mobile Park as medical personnel quickly called for the ambulance and Cabrera writhed in pain on the ground.

On the other side of the field, the Yankees, who were the visiting team, watched the incident unfold with worry. Many of them were seen with their heads bowed in concern for their teammate. Cabrera is known for his vibrant personality and positive energy since joining the major leagues, making the situation even more distressing for his teammates.
