Yankees legend Mariano Rivera, 55, tore his Achilles tendon during Saturday's Old-Timers' Day game while chasing a fly ball. His agent confirmed surgery is scheduled for within a week. The injury occurred after Rivera singled in his only at-bat. Rivera, a Hall of Famer with 652 career saves, previously suffered a torn ACL in 2012. The Old-Timers' Day game marked the 25th anniversary of the Yankees' 2000 World Series championship team.
