Miguel Cabrera
Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has been knocking the ball out of the park lately, but he's hobbling on the field, which is not only making him wince, but fans wince as well. It's painful to watch.
ESPN's Buster Olney reported before Sunday night's game that Cabrera has bone spurs in his ankle and would need surgery during the offseason.
But the Tigers, according to Fox Sports, aren't making any decisions as of yet.
"As long as I've known Buster I don't know where he's getting that," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said after the game. "We don't know if he requires surgery. We don't know if it's going to be rest or surgery will help. That'll be determined when the season is over."
Ausmus said:
"Whether it's rest that will help the inflammation or the irritation go down in the area or whether it's something that has to be done surgically we don't know that."
