Nobody will ever question Miguel Cabrera’s toughness or his desire to play every inning.

He has played through all kinds of injuries over the last six seasons — a groin tear and two herniated discs in 2017, a bad ankle and cracked foot in 2014and a hamstring last season.

Cabrera has reached an age — he'll be 36 in April — when he can get hurt just taking off for second base; a calf strain put him on the disabled list in 2015 for the first time in his career.
