Baltimore — In a tug of war between chasing a milestone and Miguel Cabrera’s health and wellness, health and wellness will win out every time.
Thus, upon further review, Cabrera was not in the Tigers' starting lineup Thursday. Manager AJ Hinch, after talking with Cabrera Wednesday night, announced Cabrera would be in the lineup, just one home run short of becoming the 28th player ever to hit 500 home runs in Major League Baseball.
But, with the heat index in Baltimore expected to be over 100 degrees at game time, Hinch thought better of it.
