Ankiel first sustained a lower abdominal injury in late July in New York. He didn't start for two weeks, though he pinch-hit occasionally, and returned to the lineup in August. However, the injury never really healed, and eventually Ankiel was shut down for the season. The recovery time is expected to be approximately four to six weeks, so the club hopes that Ankiel will not be limited in any way for the start of the 2009 season.
