The Tigers reinstated Cabrera (biceps) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers haven't revealed whether Cabrera will be included in the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore, but the 39-year-old will likely be in store for only a part-time role over the final two and a half weeks of the season in any case. With Detroit opening up more playing time of late for rookies Spencer Torkelson and Ryan Kreidler, Cabrera could be part of a messy three-man timeshare at designated hitter with Jeimer Candelario, Kerry Carpenter and Eric Haase.

The Tigers intend to activate Cabrera (biceps) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's series opener in Baltimore, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

The future Hall of Famer will rejoin the Tigers for the final two and a half weeks of the season, but he'll likely be relegated to a part-time role while Detroit prioritizes at-bats for its developmental players. Prior to landing on the shelf Sept. 3 with a left biceps strain, Cabrera produced a career-worst .622 OPS over 393 plate appearances.

Cabrera (biceps) took full batting practice Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera took 40-50 swings in the batting cage Thursday and apparently felt good afterward since he was cleared to take batting practice on the field Friday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to game action, but he'll need to hit off the velocity machine before he's activated from the injured list.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Cabrera (biceps) is unlikely to return from the 10-day injured list during the team's six-game homestand this week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera is eligible for activation Tuesday, but he'll need at least a little more time to get fully ramped up after being shelved earlier this month with a left biceps strain. On a positive note, the 39-year-old hasn't been shut down from activity entirely, with Hinch noting that Cabrera is scheduled to hit off a tee Monday. Cabrera thus looks on pace to return at some point in the second half of September, but he'll presumably be limited to a part-time role and make only a few starts per week once he's deemed ready to go.

Cabrera was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a left biceps strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Josh Lester will be called up in a corresponding move. Per Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic, the Tigers want to get Cabrera back before the end of the season. If this doesn't cost him much more than the minimum, Cabrera could make it back for roughly the final two weeks of the campaign. Cabrera is batting .256/.305/.317 this season at the age of 39.

Cabrera (biceps) isn't in the lineup Saturday against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera will be out of the lineup a day after he departed Friday's matchup due to discomfort in his biceps. Whether he's available off the bench remains to be seen, but Jeimer Candelario will serve as the designated hitter and bat sixth.

Cabrera was removed from Friday's game against the Royals due to discomfort in his biceps, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera went 0-for-3 with a strikeout to begin Friday's matchup but was replaced by a pinch hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning. The 39-year-old will be monitored in the coming days, and he's considered day-to-day for now.

Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a double in Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera was playing in his first game since last Friday and just his fourth in the last two weeks. The veteran has dealt with some lingering knee pain, and the 50-79 Tigers have been inclined to roll with younger players. Cabrera is batting a respectable .261, but a lack of power and now a dip in playing time limits his fantasy appeal.

Cabrera is on the bench Tuesday in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera's playing time continues to wane while he manages lingering knee pain and struggles to produce at the plate, as he's gone 2-for-25 with six strikeouts and no extra-base hits since the beginning of August. He's on the bench for the fourth time in five games and may be a part-time player at this stage of the season.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cabrera will remain on the bench Sunday for the fourth time in the past five games. The 39-year-old's playing time as dropped over the past week since he's managing lingering knee pain, and it appears he'll continue splitting time for the foreseeable future. Harold Castro will shift to designated hitter while Kody Clemens starts at first base.
