2019 has been a rough season for the former all-star and triple crown winner, Miguel Cabrera. He has struggled with pain in his right knee since June, but he refused to undergo surgery on it. He and Detroit Tigers manager, Ron Gardenhire, have addressed the issue and have a plan for the offseason, per an article on MLB Live.
Specialists have warned Cabrera in the past that the knee pain is a result of chronic damage and that it may impact the rest of his career. He has stood firmly against having surgery, as long as he is able to play without it.
