Miguel Cabrera is out for the rest of the season:
Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire announced after a 6-4 loss to the Twins on Tuesday night that Cabrera suffered a ruptured left biceps tendon while swinging at a pitch from Jake Odorizzi in the third inning. Gardenhire said the injury will require surgery.
Cabrera immediately dropped his bat and motioned to the dugout that something was wrong. He walked down the steps and teammates knew that something was terribly wrong with a player who has played through pain repeatedly over the years.
Cabrera first injured his the biceps on April 29 and missed three games. Then he went on the disabled list with a right hamstring strain.
Cabrera had improved after a poor 2017 season. The Tigers were only 16-22 when he played, however, 15-15 without him.
There’s no mention in the article if this injury is career threatening. Cabrera has been an offensive force for a long time, and it’s sad to see him decline.
