"He claims to have gotten us eight runs," manager Brad Ausmus said Thursday morning.
Cabrera will continue to receive treatment during the road trip, and Ausmus said there's no update to his prognosis. The manager joked the first baseman is on the energy bus, a motivational tool which has been drawn on the clubhouse whiteboard over the last several days.
"He's not driving on the bus, but he's sitting on the bus," Ausmus said.
Cabrera has been receiving treatment in nearby Royal Oak, Mich., and he underwent a protein-rich plasma injection two weeks ago.
Though the first baseman hasn't made many public appearances with the Tigers since leaving their July 3 game with the strained calf, he has been a regular in the clubhouse.
