Nov 2 CF Melky Cabrera left the game in the sixth inning with a slightly strained left hamstring. Cabrera appeared to suffer the injury while running out a grounder in the top of the inning and was replaced by Brett Gardner in the bottom of the inning after getting checked by the trainer. Yahoo! Sports


Nov 2 Cabrera (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Game 5 against the Phillies on Monday and may be replaced on the Yankees' World Series roster, the Journal News reports.

Recommendation: The Yankees believe Cabrera may have suffered a full hamstring tear during Game 4, which would keep him out for the rest of the series. If that's the case, they are allowed to petition for a roster change and add a different player, someone like Francisco Cervelli or Freddy Guzman. Brett Gardner will likely start in center field Monday.
