7 years agoDetroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (hip) exited Thursday's game in the second inning after taking a tumble rounding first base. The team is calling his injury a bruised left hip flexor. Miggy stayed in the game initially but ultimately decided to come out to avoid any further injury. Cabrera is off to a hot start with a .991 OPS through his first 22 at-bats. The Tigers are off on Friday and he should be back in action on Saturday, but if the hip becomes a lingering issue, it could result in more playing time for John Hicks and Niko Goodrum.--Tyler Germain - RotoBaller
