Detroit – Miguel Cabrera made his seventh straight start as the Tigers’ designated hitter Saturday. He hasn’t played first base since June 22. And you know how manager AJ Hinch knows he’s doing right by the future Hall of Famer?
Cabrera isn’t pushing back against it.
“That probably tells me all I need to know,” Hinch said. “Obviously, he wants to be out there but he recognizes we need to be smart about these next 10 games.”
Cabrera is still getting treatment on his right calf, which took him out of the lineup for a couple of games.
