Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera went 0 for 2 and played four innings in the field Wednesday.
"I feel very good," Cabrera said after his debut in the field, per MLB.com. "I'm glad to be back at first and try to get in the rhythm, try to get in baseball shape. I was so happy to be out there at first base and try to play defense."
Cabrera made multiple tough plays in the field, giving his surgically-repaired ankle and foot a test.
"It feels very good," Cabrera said. "I try to make plays, and to make that play in that situation, I don't think about my ankle, my feet. Right now I'm focused on [trying to] go out there and play."
Cabrera is expected to be back at first base Thursday before receiving a day off Friday.
