Josh Hart Drops Crisp Prayers-Up Message for Yankees’ Oswaldo Cabrera After Devastating Injury vs. Mariners

It was supposed to be just another night under the Bronx lights. A high-scoring beatdown for the New York Yankees and another Aaron Judge highlight reel. But things took a dark turn real fast.

Yankees utilityman Oswaldo Cabrera went down hard after a run-in at home plate, suffering a serious ankle injury and leaving the stadium in an ambulance. Fans and athletes rushed to send support on social media, including a heartfelt message from New York Knicks star Josh Hart.

Josh Hart Sends Emotional Message to Injured Yankee Oswaldo Cabrera

Cabrera’s injury was a hard one to watch. He was charging in from second base, hustling hard to round the bases after Judge sent a screamer into the outfield, when he slid into home plate and pulled up lame.

Cabrera’s leg twisted awkwardly, and he went down on his ankle. Hart didn’t wait too long to chime in. A known Yankees diehard, the New York Knicks guard jumped on X to send his support: “Oswaldo Cabrera 🙌🏽🙌🏽,” Hart posted. Short, simple, and packed with emotion.

It wasn’t just a social media formality. Hart has been a regular at Yankee Stadium throughout the years, especially this season. From posting stories about Judge dingers to chopping it up with players pre-game, Hart loves the Yankees.

While others were still trying to process the slow-motion replays, Hart was already sending his thoughts and prayers out to Cabrera. His tweet quickly went viral which showed how sports have the power to unite fans and athletes.

Cabrera’s Injury Overshadows Big Wins for Yankees and Knicks

While the Yankees handled business on the baseball diamond, their basketball counterparts at Madison Square Garden were locked in a playoff war. The New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics battled in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, full of chaos.

Hart scored six points and grabbed nine boards in 30 minutes. Despite a 42-point explosion from Celtics star Jayson Tatum, the Knicks battled back with a clutch fourth quarter to steal the 121-113 win and go up 3-1 in the series.

So, yeah, two major wins for New York teams in one roller-coaster night. The mood was complicated to say the least, especially with the lingering sight of Cabrera being helped off the field with an ambulance waiting outside the dugout.

Even with playoff fever in full swing, Knicks players like Hart had their minds on what went down a few blocks over. Cabrera’s left leg was immediately placed in an air cast by the EMTs on the scene. His status will be updated in the coming days.
