Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - New York center fielder Melky Cabrera has been replaced on the Yankees' World Series roster by infielder Ramiro Pena.
Cabrera left Game 4 of the World Series in the sixth inning Sunday against the Phillies due to a slight strain of his left hamstring. Cabrera came up holding his hamstring after running out a ground ball to end the top of the frame. He was replaced in the outfield by Brett Gardner.
Cabrera was 1-for-3 with a run scored as the Yankees won the game, 7-4, leaving them a victory away from their 27th title in franchise history. They lead the best-of-seven series, 3-1.
Gardner is expected to get the start in Game 5 on Monday.
Pena has not appeared in a game since the season finale on October 4.
