Cabrera (26) is a native of Venezuela and is currently in his fourth MLB season. Known for his energy and hustle, Cabrera has been a regular in the Yankees’ lineup this season. He is striking with an average of 0.243 with one Home Run and 12 RBIs.
Despite the injury, Cabrera’s team-first attitude was clear even in pain. Yankees star Aaron Judge revealed a moment that stunned everyone.
“Right before he got carted off, he just called me over and said, ‘Hey, did I score?’” Judge said. “That just shows you what type of guy he is.”
Judge also praised Cabrera’s love for the game and dedication to the team. “He cares for everybody in this room. He loves being a Yankee. He wears his jersey with pride. This is a tough one, especially a guy who’s grinded his whole life and finally got his opportunity.”
This shows how much the game and the team meant for him, despite being in rigorous pain, his first thought was about the team and not his injury.
The team is awaiting further medical updates on Cabrera’s condition.
