NEW YORK -- Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera tore an Achilles tendon while going after a fly ball at the Yankees' Old-Timers' Day game Saturday and needs surgery.
During an at-bat by Willie Randolph, Rivera took a step and fell to the ground in shallow center field behind second base.
The Yankees restored the Old-Timers' Day game for the first time since 2019.
Rivera was playing in the Old-Timers' game for the second time.
Before the event, Rivera said he intended to speak with struggling reliever Devin Williams, who allowed three runs in the 10th inning Friday.
