Three weeks after suffering a gruesome left ankle fracture, Oswaldo Cabrera arrived back in the Yankee Stadium home clubhouse.
“I’m not happy to be here and not playing,’’ Cabrera told reporters, including MLB.com, before Thursday night’s 4-0 Yankees’ win against the Cleveland Guardians.
But Cabrera was glad to see his teammates again and “to watch what they are doing out there, but I want to be with them outside.’’
A few hours later, Max Fried battled through a 28-pitch first inning and tossed six shutout innings, as the AL East-leading Yankees won their eighth series in the last nine.
Coming off his first loss of the year, at Dodger Stadium, Fried’s ERA is now 0.57 in starts following a Yankees loss this year, and the Yanks are 7-0 in such games.
Cody Bellinger had three RBI, with a two-run homer off Cleveland starter Slade Cecconi and an RBI single following an intentional walk on a 3-0 count to Aaron Judge.
“Definitely motivating. At the same time, you understand,’’ Bellinger told the YES Network about the Guardians twice passing Judge to get to him Thursday.
In a two-run game, Yankees reliever Tim Hill pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the seventh, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. had three hits and an RBI in his third game since coming off the injured list (oblique).
Before the game, manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Giancarlo Stanton (elbow tendinitis) remained in Tampa, Fla., but could begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.
Marcus Stroman (left knee inflammation) had another simulated outing against live batters Thursday afternoon, and a decision will soon be made about starting his rehab assignment clock. He’s ramping up as a starter, Boone told reporters.
Coming off a rough start last Saturday in a loss at Dodger Stadium, Will Warren is scheduled to start Friday night as the Yankees open a three-game set against the visiting Boston Red Sox in the rivals first series of 2025.
Saying he’s motivated to return as soon as possible, Cabrera didn’t rule out a late season comeback but it’s a long shot.
“I think there’s a small possibility of it,’’ said Boone, though a fresh start in 2026 might be a more realistic timeframe.
Cabrera will be in a boot for another two months and there was also some ligament damage associated with the May 13 play at Seattle, on an awkward slide at the plate.
Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe led waves of Yankee teammates to see Cabrera at a Seattle hospital following that game.
It was “such a beautiful moment,’’ said Cabrera, a beloved figure in the Yankees’ clubhouse for his perpetually upbeat attitude and supportive nature.
