Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks left Game 5 of the ALDS vs. the Guardians in tears after colliding with shortstop Oswaldo Cabrera on a shallow fly ball in the third inning. The ball landed fair, resulting in a Steven Kwan single, while Hicks needed to be helped off the field.
With Hicks coming in for the ball, and Cabrera running out, it appeared as if Cabrera’s leg collided with Hicks’s left knee. Hicks tried to walk it off, but couldn’t get to the point where he could stay in the game.
Utility infielder Marwin González replaced Hicks in left field, while Cleveland was able to score a run in the inning thanks to the play.
