Resting for season finale Cabrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Even though Cabrera was rested in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, he'll remain on the bench as the Tigers wrap up their season and their series in Seattle on Wednesday. Unless the Tigers turn to him for a pinch-hitting appearance, Cabrera will finish the campaign with a career-worst .622 OPS over his 433 plate appearances. The 39-year-old is due $32 million in 2023, the final season of the eight-year, $248 million megadeal he signed in March 2014.

Sitting out nightcap Cabrera is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mariners.
Impact Cabrera started Game 1 and went 1-for-3 with a walk. The veteran has confirmed he will return for the 2023 season, though his fantasy appeal has mostly vanished. The former MVP has a .622 OPS this year with just five home runs and 43 RBI.

Return for 2023 confirmed Cabrera will return for the 2023 season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Cabrera will turn 40 in April and has been a below-average hitter in four of the last six seasons, but he has 32 million reasons to return next year. The 2023 season will be the final guaranteed year of the eight-year, $248 million extension Cabrera signed prior to the 2014 season. His contract contains vesting options for 2024 and 2025, but it would take a top-10 MVP finish for those years to vest. Cabrera has been about as far from MVP level as possible this season, hitting just .251/.299/.315 while exclusively serving as the designated hitter.

Seeing steady playing time Cabrera will serve as the Tigers' designated hitter and No. 4 batter in Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Impact Since returning Sept. 19 from a stint on the injured list, Cabrera looks to have moved into a near-everyday role after he had previously been playing on a more part-time basis prior to being shelved. He's hit a modest 3-for-19 since being activated, but Cabrera will pick up his fifth start in six games nonetheless.
