Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera is progressing well from the calf injury that landed him on the 15-day disabled list, per The Detroit News.
Cabrera has been cleared for light baseball activities. He took throws and some swings in a light batting practice session on Friday.
"Feeling better," Cabrera said. "Making progress. Hopefully it will be soon I can get on the field and try to do some baseball activities."
The Grade 3 calf strain Cabrera suffered is likely to keep him out of the lineup until late August, but he isn't sticking strictly to the timetable.
"I want to say my body will tell me," Cabrera said. "Hopefully I can make good progress. I don't want to say six weeks or eight weeks. I want to see how it feels every day and when I am ready to play I want to say, 'I'm ready to go.' That's my mind(set).
"These injuries can take a long time. Hopefully it can be soon."
