DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera left Detroit's game against Tampa Bay on Sunday in the seventh inning after being hit around the left knee with a pitch.
Cabrera was hit by Dana Eveland's pitch while leading off the bottom of the seventh. The Detroit slugger hobbled around for a while, and trainer Kevin Rand came out to check on him. Cabrera went to first to try to play on, but he was removed for a pinch runner moments later. The Tigers say he has a left knee bruise and is day-to-day.
Cabrera had three hits Sunday, including a homer.
