Melky Could Be Done For Series

According to Sam Borden of the Journal News, Melky Cabrera could be out for the rest of the World Series. He strained his left hamstring and is being evaluated by team doctors today. Depending on the outcome, he could be replaced on the roster should it be determined that he is unable to play for the rest of the series.

Per Sam, if Melky is out, Brett Gardner will take over in Center Field and Melky's spot on the roster will be taken by either Francisco Cervelli, Ramiro Pena, Sergio Mitre, or Freddy Guzman. I agree with Sam that Guzman remains the most likely addition, as he would replace Gardner as the team's main backup outfielder and pinch-runner.
