Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera was pulled from Friday's game against the Minnesota Twins in the seventh inning due to a right groin strain.
The injury may have occurred while diving for a ball defensively in the sixth inning. He'll be re-evaluated on Saturday. Cabrera has already been battling a lower back issue this season and there's a chance that this new injury could force him to the disabled list. If that were to occur, James Loney could be recalled from Triple-A to replace him.
Our models project Cabrera for 582 more plate appearances in 2017, hitting .320 with 29 home runs, 85 runs, and 98 RBI's.
