New York Yankees third baseman Oswaldo Cabrera left Monday’s game against the Seattle Mariners in an ambulance after suffering an apparent ankle injury.

The Yankees are expected to activate veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu prior to Tuesday's game. If Cabrera's injury is as serious as it appears, LeMahieu will be able to slot into third base without much friction -- either from a starting lineup or active roster perspective. LeMahieu had missed the first month-plus of the season with a calf injury.

Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera sustained a gruesome lower leg injury on an awkward slide at home plate and was taken in an ambulance off the T-Mobile Park field.
