The Tigers have announced that they have activated slugger Miguel Cabrera from the 15-day disabled list, per the Detroit Free Press. He is playing first base and batting third Friday in Houston.
Detroit must heat up in a hurry to claw its way back into the playoff chase and the addition of Cabrera should certainly help. He has been out since July 4 with a calf injury. The team opens a key weekend series Friday night in Houston.
Cabrera returns with a typically fine slash line of .350/.456/.578 and 54 RBI in 277 at-bats.
