There was no timetable for Chamberlain's return, but Cashman labeled it a "significant injury."
Quote:
Chamberlain had surgery on Thursday night at St. Joseph's Hospital, and is expected to remain in the hospital for several days for the injury, which resulted in an open flesh wound around the ankle. Manager Joe Girardi was at the hospital early Friday morning.
The Newark Star-Ledger reports that Joba Chamberlain is likely to miss the entire 2012 season following surgery to repair an open dislocation of his right ankle.
Chamberlain, who is also coming back from Tommy John surgery, suffered the gruesome injury while playing on a trampoline with his son. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman wasn't willing to put a timetable on the righty's return, but referred to it as a "significant injury" and that he "would like to believe it's not" a career-threatening ailment. Even if it doesn't end his playing career, it's possible his Yankees career is over. Chamberlain is arbitration-eligible for the final time this winter.

When asked if the injury could be career-threatening, Cashman said: "I couldn't say, I just couldn't say. I'd like to say no. My heart and my gut tells me no, that's not the case."
