Miguel Cabrera hurt bicep while swinging, says he feels better after treatment

BALTIMORE -- Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera said he felt a twinge in his left bicep while swinging the bat on Sunday, but he feels "much better" after post-game treatment.

Cabrera said he would be reevaluated on Monday in Detroit when the Tigers return home for a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Cabrera left Sunday's game in the fifth inning and was replaced by Niko Goodrum.

Goodrum would likely play first base if Cabrera were forced to miss more time. Tigers backup catcher John Hicks can also play first base, although manager Ron Gardenhire doesn't have a third catcher and doesn't like to play Hicks and starter James McCann at the same time.
