1B Miguel Cabrera hit second in the Tigers' batting order Sunday for the first time this season, going 1-for-5 with a strikeout. After the game, manager Brad Ausmus said he will continue to consider hitting Cabrera second in the order.

1B Miguel Cabrera was pulled after seven innings Sunday to give him a few minutes of rest. He'll be back in the starting lineup Monday in Seattle. Cabrera's seventh home run of the season Saturday broke a tie with Carl Yastrzemski and put him nine home runs shy of Jose Canseco and Adam Dunn, who share the 35th spot all-time.

1B Miguel Cabrera hit his 453rd career homer Saturday. He moved past Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski into sole possession of 36th place on the all-time list. He is 10 shy of Jose Canseco and Adam Dunn, who are tied for 35th.

DH Miguel Cabrera served as Detroit's designated hitter Friday night in the absence of DH Victor Martinez, placed on the disabled list with an irregular heartbeat. "It may be depending on the opposing pitcher," manager Brad Ausmus said of his DH situation. "There may be some kind of rotation. Kevin Rand came and said Miggy's hip was bothering him. So I just figured the obvious choice would be Miggy. As long as he's able to hit. Of course, Miggy being Miggy, said, 'Why don't you DH Alex (Avila)?' I said that's a good idea and I might some time but I figure if we can get you off your feet rather than standing for nine innings, maybe we can knock this thing out." Cabrera doubled and scored a run in the five-run fifth but also had a key walk to help Detroit score five times in the fourth. He may be back at first base Saturday.

1B Miguel Cabrera may not be a horse all the time these days, but he's not a dead horse either. Without a home run since May 20, Cabrera ended a 22-game drought with a walkoff two-run home run in the ninth Friday night that gave Detroit a 5-3 win over Tampa Bay. It was his sixth home run of the season and seventh career walkoff blast. The lack of home runs contributed to Cabrera driving in just 12 runs in those 22 games, but he still had a .316 batting average (25x79) with 10 doubles in that time.

DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera's first home run since May 20 went just over the fence into the seats in right field with one out and one on in the ninth inning Thursday night to give the Detroit Tigers a 5-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays.Reliever Tommy Hunter (0-2) gave up a one-out single to Alex Avila in the ninth and pinch-runner Andrew Romine watched halfway between first and second as Cabrera's high fly ball on a 97-mph fastball went into the seats. It was Cabrera's sixth home run this season and seventh career walkoff.Closer Justin Wilson (3-2) picked up the win after pitching a four-batter ninth. He gave up a two out bloop single to left then struck out his second batter, Evan Longoria, to end the inning.Steven Souza Jr. launched a 1-0 Francisco Rodriguez changeup into the seats in left with one out in the eighth to bring Tampa Bay to a 3-3 tie.Phillies 1, Red Sox 0PHILADELPHIA -- Ty Kelly hit a pinch-hit one-out RBI double in the eighth inning to spoil Chris Sale's strong outing as...

1B Miguel Cabrera has not hit a home run since May 20 and only two since coming off the disabled list May 2, but manager Brad Ausmus professes not to be worried "in any way, shape or form. I think every year we've had this discussion about Miguel Cabrera. Is Miggy finally getting older" Is he struggling? The last two years kind of speak for themselves. Last year he had an unbelievable last two months, between he and (Justin) Upton (they) carried us offensively. I am not worried about Miguel Cabrera at all. I wish I struggled to hit .270." Cabrera doubled to right center (it was about two inches shy of being an RBI double) and singled to left in four at-bats Wednesday night.

1B Miguel Cabrera had a pair of doubles Tuesday night but it looked on both like he's having problems running. Cabrera never acknowledges any health issues until they're over so you have to watch every move to see if there's any sign of injury or illness. He was slow out of the box on his second double to right, which looked initially like it was going to be caught. He was very slow on his first double, to right center. Cabrera turned a sparkling 3-2-3 double play with the bases loaded and nobody out in the seventh to get Detroit out of a jam.

1B Miguel Cabrera drove in the 1,581st run of his career Saturday against the Red Sox, placing him one RBI shy of Al Kaline for 41st in MLB history. Cabrera went 1-for-4 with an RBI, driving in a run on a groundout in the fifth inning. He is a career .306 hitter (72-for-235) in his career vs. the Red Sox.

1B Miguel Cabrera, who came into Friday batting .304 with five homers and 27 RBIs in his last 27 games, went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in the loss to the Red Sox.

1B Miguel Cabrera keeps moving up the lists in various hitting categories as he moves toward a Hall of Fame career. Cabrera had a pair of doubles, good for three RBIs on Friday night, to become just the 39th player in major league history to have 1,000 or more extra-base hits. He also added a sacrifice fly for a four-RBI night. Cabrera has 532 doubles and 451 home runs plus 17 triples for his extra base total of 1,000. He entered the game hitting just .260 with five home runs and 22 RBI. "Right now, I don't think there's anything wrong with Miggy," manager Brad Ausmus said pregame. "I feel like we've talked about Miggy in this vein every year I've been here. And every year he seems to end up hitting."

1B Miguel Cabrera doubled in the first inning off Astros RHP Mike Fiers. It marked his 529th career double, which moves him into a tie for 40th place in major league history with Al Oliver. It was also his 346th double with Detroit, which gives him sole possession of ninth place in franchise history. Cabrera has 997 career extra-base hits, three shy of becoming the 39th player in history with 1,000.

1B Miguel Cabrera was back in the lineup on Saturday after missing three games with a mild oblique strain. He returned with a bang, drilling an opposite-field solo homer. It was Cabrera's only hit of the game. He now has 451 career homers and is one away from tying Carl Yastrzemski for 37th in major league history.

1B Miguel Cabrera returns to Detroit's lineup Saturday, according to manager Brad Ausmus. "He was actually available to pinch hit (Friday)," manager Brad Ausmus said, "But there wasn't a spot. I didn't want to use him just to use him. If I was going to use him, I was going to use him in a spot where he could tie or win the game. Ideally I'd like him to have another full day and night to rest, but I'd be shocked if he wasn't playing (Saturday)." Cabrera missed three games with a sore left side.
