Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera's final swing of Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins might not have just cost the Tigers the game; it could also end up costing Cabrera time, as he appeared to suffer an injury.
"You could see it in his facial expression,'' manager Jim Leyland told MLive.com after the game.
Cabrera winced after striking out to end the game, and it appears as if he may have re-aggravated his lingering abdomen strain. He has been able to play through the injury, but has been forced to miss four games as a result. It is not yet clear whether he did injure his abdomen, or if it is a different, unrelated issue.
"It looked like it might be the area of the stomach," Leyland said. "Not sure if it was the groin, or up in the stomach area, but he was in some pain."
