Yankees 3B Oswaldo Cabrera 'Probably Unlikely' to Return in 2025 Following Surgery

After suffering a scary injury Monday night against the Seattle Mariners, New York Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera has started his road to recovery. Now it's just a matter of how long it takes the 26-year-old to return to action.

Cabrera underwent surgery Thursday to repair his fractured left ankle. Additional ligament damage was revealed upon further evaluation, making the procedure more complex, but manager Aaron Boone said it still went well.

Prior to Friday's game against the New York Mets, Boone was uncertain but pessimistic when asked if Cabrera would return this season.

"We still don't know," Boone said. "I would say probably unlikely. Probably won't know until a week, 10 days in to where we get the doctors' protocols and then you get the ramp up as you go. So it was a little more involved in there, but I think all things considered, fairly successful too."
