Delivers walkoff hit Saturday Cabrera went 1-for-4 with an RBI in the Tigers' 5-4 win over the Twins in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader.
Impact In the bottom of the eighth inning with a runner on second, Cabrera flared a short fly ball to center field, which dropped in for the walkoff hit and sweep of the doubleheader. It was a nice moment for the veteran but he's been struggling most of the season, as his .638 OPS would easily be a new career worst. Despite the struggles, Cabrera should still play most days as long as he stays healthy.

Three straight two-hit games Cabrera went 4-for-8 with a home run, two additional runs and two RBI between both halves of Wednesday's doubleheader win over Cleveland.
Impact The veteran first baseman/designated hitter provided exactly two hits in all three games of the series, and he closed June with eight multi-hit efforts over his final 12 starts. The hot streak has helped Cabrera lift his season average to a more palatable .240, but he doesn't hit for enough power at this stage of his career to make for a desirable fantasy option outside of deeper mixed leagues or AL-only formats. Cabrera's .122 ISO is only six points better than the career-worst mark he posted in 2019.

Goes deep in lopsided loss Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and two runs scored in Monday's 13-5 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Cabrera was one of the few bright spots for Detroit in this one, as he connected for his sixth home run of the season in the second inning. The veteran has never really got going this season, as his OPS still sits at just .635, though he's capable of providing the occasional good stat line. Fantasy managers just shouldn't expect a return to his peak production anytime soon.

Impact Cabrera missed two games earlier this week with a calf issue before returning to the lineup Friday. He'll return to the bench for the beginning part of Sunday's game as Nomar Mazara handles the DH duties during the series finale.

Remains on bench with calf issue Cabrera (calf) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Cabrera's tight right calf will keep him on the bench for the second game in a row, allowing Nomar Mazara to receive a turn as the Tigers' designated hitter. The Tigers haven't suggested that Cabrera's injury is anything more than a day-to-day concern, so the expectation is that he'll rejoin the lineup at some point later in the four-game series with Houston.
