New York Yankees utility man Oswaldo Cabrera suffered what is believed to be a season-ending left ankle fracture on May 12 while he was attempting to stumble in at home during a game. There was also ligament damage in his left ankle.<\/p>\n

However, Cabrera isn’t seeing this injury as an end to his 2025 season. He still has a sliver of hope that he can return to the field before the year ends.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to [play], obviously,\u201d Cabrera said, via MLB.com. \u201cI\u2019m not happy to be here and not playing. To be with my guys and watch them, I\u2019m happy to watch what they are doing out there, but I want to be with them outside. That\u2019s my motivation that I have, to do my things to get back sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Cabrera, the Yankees and manager Aaron Boone seem to have a more realistic viewpoint on the possibility of Cabrera returning this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s a small possibility,” Boone said. \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re necessarily expecting it, but you never know how he heals over the next couple of months. I know one thing with Oswaldo, there\u2019s not a better person who loves this as much as him. I know he\u2019s going to pour everything into the rehab process and healing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Never say never, especially when it comes to determined professional athletes. Maybe Cabrera would be able to return in the postseason if the Yankees continue their hot season.<\/p>\n

In 34 games this season before his injury, Cabrera averaged .243\/.322\/.308 with one home run and 11 RBIs.<\/p>\n
