Yankees put Willie Calhoun (quad) on IL, call up Oswaldo Cabrera

NEW YORK -- The Yankees' outfield took another hit Thursday as Willie Calhoun landed on the injured list with a quad injury.

To replace Calhoun, the Yankees called up utility man Oswaldo Cabrera.

"It is frustrating," Calhoun said. "I'm going to do everything I can to try to get back as fast as I can and help the team."

Calhoun injured his calf in the eighth inning of Wednesday's 4-2 victory against the Seattle Mariners, pulling up while running out a ground ball to third base. Calhoun said he heard a pop, like when he suffered a similar injury in 2019 with the Texas Rangers.
