Miguel Cabrera underwent an MRI exam Saturday morning to determine whether his right groin strain was severe enough to require a stint on the 10-day disabled list.
There was enough question about it that the Tigers flew in catcher John Hicks from Triple-A Toledo just in case they made a move before Saturday afternoon’s game against the Twins. Normally, the Tigers would’ve had to make a decision with Cabrera and Hicks three hours before game time, but with a day game after a night game, Major League Baseball granted the Tigers under noon Central time, about an hour before first pitch.
