Injured Yankees star Oswaldo Cabrera ties the knot with Ari Gonzalez in a beautiful intimate ceremony

New York Yankees infielder Oswaldo Cabrera and his partner, Ari Gonzalez, entered a new chapter of life together on Wednesday, tying the knot in an intimate ceremony that took place in the presence of friends and family.

Cabrera proposed to Gonzalez during the spring training period back in mid-March. Facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to an ankle injury he sustained in May, it appears Oswaldo Cabrera and Ari Gonzalez have decided to make the most of the downtime the infielder has for now.

Images from Oswaldo and Ari's intimate wedding ceremony made it to their respective Instagram profiles shortly after they took their vows. Cabrera, who recently underwent surgery on his left ankle, is spotted sporting a protective walking boot in one of the snaps.

Just like Oswaldo Cabrera, Ari Gonzalez is quite passionate about health and fitness, often documenting her workouts via Instagram.

Though things have been extremely joyous for Oswaldo Cabrera off the field recently, matters on the field would no doubt have been cause for immense frustration for the Venezuelan.

While attempting to slide to home plate during a game against the Seattle Mariners on May 12, Cabrera got his ankle stuck in the turf, causing a gruesome ankle injury, which made for extremely distressing viewing.

Taking to Instagram shortly after sustaining the injury, Cabrera stayed positive, thanking his friends, family and the fans for their support, and promising to 'return even stronger'.

"My return to the field begins today. Thanks to you, I feel more motivated than ever. So, with the strength I’ve always had and all this beautiful energy that you all give to me , I tell you that I will return, and I will return even stronger to continue giving my best every day. I LOVE U ALL❤️" Cabrera captioned his Instagram post

Per estimates as of now, Cabrera's injury is expected to keep him out of the rest of the regular season, with a potential return in October if the Yankees make it to the postseason.
