The baseball world collectively rejoiced in April when Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera became the 33rd member of the 3,000 hit club. With fewer than two months left in the regular season, the clock may be ticking on the future Hall of Famer’s time in the spotlight.
Cabrera sat out Wednesday’s 4–1 loss to the Twins, and though he’s been able to appear in 90 games this year—third-most on the team—he conceded on Thursday that the physical toll he’s undergone in his 20th big-league season has been difficult to endure.
“I don’t feel well right now,” Cabrera said, according to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press.
