There are several MLB players who are approaching the latter part of their careers. When that happens, their production isn't the same, and they're just hanging on until they officially retire.After the 2023 season, we saw several veterans retire, including Miguel Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, and Adam Wainwright. Cabrera was 40 years old, Cruz was 43 years old, and Wainwright was 42 years old. All three players were clearly past their prime, and they struggled to put up quality stats in their final ...

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera will get the day off on Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals in the series finale. The future Hall of Famer started seven of the team's last eight games and will take a regular day of rest in what is his final MLB season. The 40-year-old isn't of any use to fantasy managers in the final season of his storied career, as he's hitting just .233 (30-for-129) with one home run, nine doubles, 10 RBI and eight runs scored in 40 games played. The ...

Detroit Tigers designated hitter/first baseman Miguel Cabrera (illness) is out of the starting lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader against the New York Mets on Wednesday due to an illness. It remains to be seen if the 40-year-old veteran slugger will return for the second game of the twin bill, but it's probably unlikely. With Miggy out in Game 1, Eric Haase is serving as the team's designated hitter and will bat cleanup against Mets left-hander Joey Lucchesi. Cabrera continues to struggle ...

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera announced Monday that the 2023 season will be his last. It will be the 21st season of the 39-year-old's Hall-of-Fame career. Cabrera hasn't been fantasy relevant for the past several seasons and slashed .254/.305/.317 with five home runs and 43 RBI through 433 plate appearances in 2022. However, he spent over a decade as a top corner infield and overall fantasy option with the Florida Marlins and the Tigers.

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera homered Wednesday, a blast that could potentially be the last of his storied career. He went 2-for-4 with the two-run shot, providing all the offense in a 2-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. It was his fifth of the season and the 507th of his career. Cabrera has fought through injuries this year to produce a .621 OPS with 25 runs scored, 41 RBI, and one steal in 417 plate appearances. He is expected to seriously consider retirement in the ...

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Monday, and he immediately returned to designated hitter duties while batting cleanup against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Tyler Wells. In a corresponding move, the team optioned utility man Kody Clemens to Triple-A Toledo. The 39-year-old Venezuelan has really slowed down in 2022, as he entered Monday's game hitting just .256/.305/.317 with four home runs, 37 RBI, 23 runs scored ...

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday.

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) is not in the lineup on Saturday vs. the Kansas City Royals. Cabrera was lifted from Friday's contest with biceps discomfort so that appears to be why he's missing from Saturday's lineup as well. Spencer Torkelson, who was recently recalled, is taking over at first base and Jeimer Candelario is slotted in as the designated hitter against Royals starter Jonathan Heasley. Cabrera should be considered day-to-day for now.

Detroit Tigers first baseman/designated hitter Miguel Cabrera said that he has no intention of retiring after this year. His plan is to finish out his contract and retire after the 2023 season. Cabrera's numbers at the plate are certainly in decline in his age-39 season this year, as he's hitting .268/.317/.332 with a .650 OPS, only four home runs, 36 RBI, 23 runs scored and one stolen base in 356 plate appearances over 91 games. The 12-time All-Star and future Hall of Famer isn't much of an ...
