Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera gave fans some good news Monday, tweeting a photo of himself at a gym.
One of Detroit's favorite athlete Miguel Cabrera just underwent surgery to repair a stress fracture to his navicular bone on his right foot.
With four straight division titles to their credit — but no World Series championship since 1984 — the boldness is understandable.
This is the second straight offseason surgery for Cabrera, who underwent core muscle repair surgery in late October last year.
Cabrera can go back and sign the paper at anytime and get paid, but I think it's nice to see a player who wants to win more than he wants the money that could come with it.
MLB Fan Cave, which is famous for their gifs, has created a video of "Miggy being Miggy," which is a compilation of the best Miguel Cabrera clips through the season thus far.
It's always a great moment when you can see players from Detroit teams showing support to one another.
Sunday against the San Francisco Giants, the two-time defending MVP blasted a two-run home run, his fifth homer in the last seven games.
With Cabrera dealing with an ankle injury, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus announced Thursday that the team will rotate Cabrera and usual designated hitter Victor Martinez at first base.
Cabrera, playing in the second game of Saturday's day-night doubleheader, pulled up lame after being thrown out at first.
That most likely isn't what manager Brad Ausmus wants to see, knowing that Cabrera is already slightly injured.
Ausmus said earlier this season that most of the time he gives players the benefit of the doubt when they want to play through injuries.
Another day and another Detroit Tigers player has done the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Most of the time, the figures don't really resemble the players very much, but this time it went too far.
Let's take a look at the five faces of Major League Baseball when the post-Jeter era begins in November.
In the two games the Tigers have lost this series, Detroit has managed just two runs total.
The players also comment on Prince Fielder's infamous nude ESPN cover.
Cabrera entered the All-Star break with a .306 batting average, .534 slugging percentage, 34 doubles and 14 home runs.
"I think it has affected me quite a bit," Cabrera said.
Will you be watching?
Over this past weekend the Tigers took on the Houston Astros and lost two of three.
Rick Porcello pitched a three-hitter for his first career shutout and 10th victory this season as the Detroit Tigers beat the skidding Texas Rangers 6-0 Thursday night for their seventh consecutive victory.
It was not the first time Cabrera had messed with Beltre. He had pulled the exact same stunt about a month earlier.
