Yankees’ Jon Berti suffers calf injury running to first base: ‘grabbed on him’
NY Post
SAN DIEGO — A feel-good Yankees win on Friday night turned worrisome in the ninth inning, when Jon Berti suffered a serious-looking injury.
The third baseman roped a ground ball to the right side, took two steps out of the box and then hit the deck in pain with what manager Aaron Boone said was a left calf injury.
Boone and Yankees trainers quickly tended to Berti, who was eventually helped off and walked very gingerly as he went straight into the clubhouse.
Oswaldo Cabrera replaced him at third base for the bottom of the ninth in the Yankees’ 8-0 win over the Padres at Petco Park.
“Just grabbed on him out of the box,” Boone said. “We’ll see what we have. I’m sure we’ll get imaging and all that, but obviously the way he walked off, looked like it got him pretty good.”
Assuming Berti lands on the injured list, Boone said the Yankees would call someone up from Triple-A (Oswald Peraza could be a candidate) instead of bringing DJ LeMahieu back from his rehab assignment early.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
