Detroit — The injury bug bit the Detroit Tigers again, sidelining the right side of their starting infield.
First baseman Miguel Cabrera (sore back) and second baseman Ian Kinsler (wrist) are out for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park.
Cabrera has had back issues since the World Baseball Classic but has played through them this season. During Saturday night’s game, Cabrera left the game because of the back soreness but his status was uncertain for Sunday’s game.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said during Sunday’s pregame media session that he hadn’t talked with Cabrera yet about his condition, but his inclination was to give Cabrera the day off.
