Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera was initially listed as a starter for Friday's game against the White Sox, but was scratched shortly before first pitch, as he continues to be bothered by an abdominal injury that cost him Wednesday's game. 

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the White Sox, after being held out of the team's game Wednesday due to an abdominal injury.

This injury has been affecting him for a few weeks, but he has mostly been able to avoid multi-day stints on the bench.

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is out of Wednesday's lineup with an abdominal injury, MLive.com reports.

Cabrera aggravated the injury in Tuesday's game and was forced to leave in the fifth inning. It's the same injury Cabrera was dealing with near the All-Star break. The injury mostly impacts Cabrera on defensive plays. According to the team head athletic trainer, it will be a day-to-day issue.

A rival executive told FOX Sports he believes Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton remains unavailable leading up to Wednesday's trade deadline. The latest rumors have the Rangers and Red Sox reportedly interested in acquiring the 23-year-old outfielder.

Although the Marlins have pretty much closed the door on trading outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, the Red Sox might convince the Marlins to rethink their stance, according to MLB.com. A league source said the Red Sox might be willing to offer a substantial deal to acquire Stanton.

Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes hit his first home run since June 21 Monday night during a 9-4 win over Toronto. He also tripled and singled in the game.

Cespedes missed only the double for the cycle as he went 3 for 5 with three RBI and two runs scored. The HR was his 16th of the year and the triple his third. He's batting .232.

Cespedes has gone 6 for 10 in his last two games with two doubles, the triple, the HR, two runs scored and seven RBI.

Sources said the Rangers call the Marlins "every week" to inquire about trading for outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, according to FOX Sports. While in the past Stanton has expressed frustration about the Marlins' moves, he isn't expected to be traded by Wednesday's non-waiver deadline.

Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes turned in a productive performance at the dish as he drove in four runs Sunday afternoon against the Angels.

Cespedes lined a two-run double in the third, singled in a run in the fifth to tie the game and doubled in a run in the sixth to extend the lead for the A's. He finished 3 for 5 with four RBI in a 10-6 win. He is hitting .226 with 15 homers and 47 RBI in 327 at-bats.
