Cabrera (back) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.
As expected, Cabrera will sit out the series finale as John Hicks steps in at first base. It doesn't sound like Cabrera is in danger of missing a prolonged stretch, but manager Brad Ausmus told the Detroit News that he thinks Cabrera will have to deal with the chronic back pain for the rest of his career, so occasional maintenance days over the final month seem likely.
