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.

The third baseman was taken off the field in an ambulance after changing direction while scoring a run during Monday night’s game.

Cabrera suffered the injury while running home from third base after tagging up on Aaron Judge's bases-loaded fly ball.
