CHICAGO -- Miguel Cabrera, suspended seven games for his role in Thursday's fights at Comerica Park, is in the starting lineup Friday night for the Detroit Tigers as they open their series against the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Cabrera has appealed the penalty and will not begin serving the suspension until the appeal is heard.
Nicholas Castellanos was scratched from the starting lineup just 30 minutes before game time. No reason was immediately given. Dixon Machado will now start at third base.
Andrew Romine is starting in center field in place of Mikie Mahtook, who is in an 0-for-16 slump.
