Cabrera out of lineup again Saturday

DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera was out of the Tigers' lineup once again on Saturday after he was a late scratch from Friday's lineup when he felt some discomfort after running.

Cabrera didn't participate in pregame batting practice or any other drills on the field prior to Saturday night's game against the White Sox. The reigning American League Most Valuable Player Award winner missed four games last week with a left abdominal strain and has been bothered by a left hip flexor and sore back for about the past month.

Manager Jim Leyland, who doesn't usually expand on details with injured players, only said Cabrera will not be playing in Saturday's game.

Jose Iglesias will play third base and left fielder Matt Tuiasosopo will bat third in Cabrera's spot. The Tigers have a 6-1 record without Cabrera in the lineup this season.

Cabrera aggravated his abdominal injury on a slow ground ball in Tuesday's game against the Phillies and exited after the seventh inning. He sat out of games on Wednesday and Friday while the team had a day off on Thursday.
