Detroit — Miguel Cabrera wasn’t in the starting lineup Saturday night, nor was he seen on the bench. The intrigue was a welcome diversion from the Detroit Tigers’ stultifying 12-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals.
“He’s going to see the doctor at 5 p.m.,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said before the game. “He’s feeling better, for whatever that’s worth at this point. We need to get him evaluated.”
Cabrera felt a twinge in his left bicep after he took an awkward third-strike swing in the fifth inning Friday night. Cabrera had surgery on his left bicep in 2018, though Hinch said this wasn’t in the same area of the muscle.
