On July 3, Cabrera suffered a Grade 3 calf strain while running to second base in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Cabrera was on first base with no outs and a 3-2 count to Victor Martinez, and took off with the pitch. Martinez fouled the ball off, but Cabrera pulled up sharply, grabbing his left leg. He was attended to by trainers and limped off the field.
To make room on the roster, pitcher Kyle Ryan has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
In a corresponding move, the #Tigers have optioned the contract of LHP Kyle Ryan to Triple A Toledo.
