DETROIT -- The sight of Miguel Cabrera giving kids a hug on Monday night at his annual charity fundraiser was encouraging -- on multiple levels.
Physically, Cabrera is feeling good, six weeks separated from season-ending surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his left biceps.
"Right now it's a little slow," Cabrera said of his rehab process, which he's splitting between Michigan and his home in Miami. "Hopefully, in a couple weeks, I'll be starting to do some more stuff and try to be healthy [for next year]."
More important, Monday's appearance at his Keeping Kids in the Game event was more therapeutic for his heart than his arm.
