May 04, 2012 12:41 AM EST

Yankees closer Mariano Rivera has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, an injury that potentially could end his career.

The right-hander was carted off the field after twisting his right knee catching fly balls during batting practice Thursday night before the Yankees played the Royals.

Royals team doctor Vincent Key diagnosed the torn ACL after looking at Rivera's MRI.
