• Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Gets $1.2 million from Yankees

  30D ago • By RotoWire

  The Yankees and Cabrera (ankle) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $1.2 million contract Friday, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Cabrera was limited to just 34 games in 2025 after requiring surgery in mid-May to repair a fracture and ligament damage in his left ankle. He should be a full participant in spring training and will get a nice raise in 2026 in his first year of arbitration eligibility. Cabrera is pegged for a utility role next season in The Bronx.

• Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Remains longshot to return in 2025

  08/11/2025 • By RotoWire

  Cabrera (ankle) said Monday that there's a "small window" for him to return this season, but it remains an unlikely proposition, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports. Cabrera underwent surgery in mid-May to repair a fracture and ligament damage in his left ankle. He has been walking around lately without the aid of a scooter or boot, but he cannot jog yet or perform baseball activities. Even if the Yankees manage to make a postseason run, it's likely Cabrera will be held out until next season.

• Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Moves to 60-day IL

  06/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Yankees transferred Cabrera (ankle) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday. Cabrera suffered a fracture as well as ligament damage to his left ankle May 12 and underwent surgery soon thereafter. While the Yankees haven't officially ruled Cabrera out for the season, the infielder is unlikely to return until late in September or perhaps October, if the club is able to make a playoff run. With that in mind, Cabrera's move to the 60-day IL is merely procedural, as it opens up a spot on the 40-man roster for reliever Jayvien Sandridge, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

• Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Not entirely ruled out for 2025

  06/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that there is a "small possibility" that Cabrera (ankle) could return to action this season, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. A few days after Cabrera was diagnosed with a fractured ankle in mid-May, Boone said it's "probably unlikely" that the utility man will play again this season. That sentiment hasn't changed, though Boone reiterated the same point with more positive wording Thursday. Cabrera underwent surgery on the ankle to repair both a fracture and ligament damage, and he's still wearing a protective boot while getting around on a scooter, so there remains a long road ahead before he's ready to play again.

• Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: Unlikely to return this season

  05/16/2025 • By RotoWire

  Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that it's "probably unlikely" Cabrera (ankle) returns this season, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports. Doctors found ligament damage around Cabrera's fractured left ankle, so his surgery was a little more invasive than hoped. While there is no official timetable for the utility player's return, Boone seems pessimistic about the possibility. Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas have handled third base for the Yankees since Cabrera was injured, but DJ LeMahieu could become the regular there once Jazz Chisholm (oblique) returns to play second base.
