If there’s one thing Miguel Cabrera has shown during his Major League career, it’s to be a warrior on the diamond, despite the setbacks and injuries the Venezuelan has suffered.

reduction begins
The week between August 8 and 14, Cabrera only saw action in three of six meetings. One of them had a singular chapter. On August 11 against Cleveland, he entered the ninth inning as a backup hitter and with two runners in scoring position and first base open, the Guardians decided to intentionally walk Cabrera. The two-time MVP was immediately replaced by backup hitter Kody Clemens, 13 years Cabrera’s junior.
All he had to do was walk out of the dugout, stand at home plate, take a leisurely 90-foot jog down the first-base line, and call it a day.

Injuries say present
Problems in his right leg have been a headache in the 2022 season, something that led manager AJ Hinch to use it with days off, or play only the first game of a doubleheader and the next day rest.
