Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (back) remains out on Monday against the Texas Rangers.
Cabrera was only expected to miss one game due to a lower back issue, but this will make it two straight after his back stiffened up again on Monday morning. He remains day-to-day. John Hicks will draw another start at first base and bat fifth in tonight's series opener against left-hander Martin Perez and the Rangers.
Assuming he doesn't require an extended absence, numberFire's models project Cabrera to record a .281 batting average with 6 home runs, 21 RBI, and 19 runs scored in 155 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
