Resting for day game Cabrera is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Cabrera takes a seat for the day game after he was in the Detroit lineup for each of the past five games, during which he went 4-for-19. The two-time American League MVP is sitting on a career-worst .592 OPS for the season, but the Tigers are unlikely to consider removing him from his everyday role while he remains on the books through 2023. Willi Castro will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter Thursday while Cabrera rests.

It was his first extra-base hit in the last 18 games and he was stuck in a 12-for-63 skid during that span. The veteran slugger has four homers with a .617 OPS through 115 plate appearances.

Two more hits Thursday Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Royals.
Impact While Cabrera's batting average is still an unsightly .179, the veteran now has four multi-hit performances in his past five games. All of the hits have been singles, so Cabrera isn't really driving the ball, but just getting on base consistently is a step forward.

Drives in two Wednesday Cabrera went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Royals.
Impact This was Cabrera's third two-hit effort across his past four games, but it's still been a struggle for the veteran this season, as he's batting just .160 even after the good performance Wednesday. Perhaps he can build on the recent good results, though fantasy managers should temper their expectations the rest of the way.
