Tigers star Cabrera on injured list with biceps strain

<p>CLEVELAND &mdash; Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left biceps strain that has been bothering him during the early part of this season.</p>
<p>Cabrera played first base in Saturday’s <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mlb-robbie-grossman-terry-francona-detroit-tigers-jeimer-candelario-df10b106436e12372cea338d245c01f8">11-3 loss</a> to the Indians. He went 0 for 3 at the plate before he was replaced by a pinch hitter in the ninth inning.</p>
<p>Manager A.J. Hinch said Cabrera has been dealing with soreness for a while and felt it “grab” on a swing in the seventh inning.</p>
<p>Hinch said the 11-time All Star will undergo tests Sunday in Cleveland. He’ll stay with the team and travel with the Tigers to Houston.</p>
<p>The 37-year-old Cabrera, who has 488 career home runs, is off to a slow start in 2021. He is batting just .125 (3 for 24) with one homer and three RBIs in seven games.</p>
<p>To replace Cabrera, the Tigers selected the contract of infielder Renato Nunez.</p>
<p>Cabrera’s injury is the second significant one for the Tigers this weekend. On Saturday, starter <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mlb-detroit-tigers-derek-holland-cleveland-aj-hinch-d50de5d59bab5f4c407e5c3742e9d507">Julio Teheran was placed on the injured list with a shoulder strain</a> and he could miss months. Detroit moved him to the 60-day injured list Sunday.</p>
<p>Hinch said Teheran will undergo more testing, but in the last 24 hours it has become clearer that he will be out much longer than initially expected.</p>
