Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera will head to the bench for the day game after he went 4-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run in Saturday's 10-0 win. With Riley Greene (elbow) landing on the injured list Saturday, the Tigers are likely to deploy Kerry Carpenter in right field more frequently and open up more starts at designated hitter for Cabrera down the stretch for the final stanza of the 40-year-old's prolific career.

Cabrera went 4-for-5 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-0 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 40-year-old Cabrera got the scoring started on his first-inning, run-scoring double and added RBI base hits in the fourth and sixth before miraculously legging out an infield single in the eighth. The first four-hit effort of Cabrera's final season brings his slash line to .257/.322/.349 with three home runs, 27 RBI and 17 runs across 81 games.

Cabrera is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera served as the Tigers' designated hitter for the previous two games but will begin this one on the bench. Kerry Carpenter will be the DH and Riley Greene will play right field.

Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 17-4 loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera's three-run blast came in the eighth inning off Phil Maton to finally get the Tigers on the board. It was just his third home run of the year but the 510th home run of his career, which moves him up to 26th on baseball's all-time list. Cabrera is now slashing .248/.318/.343 with 24 RBI, 16 runs and a 26:57 BB:K in 283 plate appearances as he's filled a semi-regular role most of the season.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Just as manager A.J. Hinch had suggested Sunday would be the case, Cabrera will take a seat for the series opener with the Cubs while Kerry Carpenter serves as Detroit's designated hitter. Cabrera has been serving as the Tigers' primary DH throughout August and likely won't be phased out of the lineup in the final stanza of his Hall of Fame-worthy career, though the promotion of outfield prospect Parker Meadows to the big leagues Monday could mean that the 40-year-old ends up moving into a short-side platoon role.

Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera got the scoring started with a two-run shot against Minnesota starter Bailey Ober in the second inning. For Cabrera, it was just his second long ball of the year. His career low in a season is three, which came back in 2018 when he played in just 38 games due to injury. By comparison, Cabrera has now appeared in 70 games this year. The veteran may turn on a few more pitches the rest of the way, but his power is essentially gone at this point.

Cabrera will sit Saturday against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games, with Riley Greene again serving as the designated hitter. Cabrera's final MLB season hasn't seen him go out on a high note, as he's hitting .259/.332/.332 with just one home run.

Cabrera is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera has quietly hit .321 since the All-Star break, but he's largely been a one-category fantasy contributor, as he's complemented the lofty batting average with no home runs or stolen bases and just four runs and three RBI in 16 games. He'll hit the bench for Thursday's matinee game, but Cabrera appears to have moved back into a near-everyday role as he approaches the finish line in his last season in the big leagues. Cabrera had started in 10 of Detroit's previous 12 games.

Cabrera went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Cabrera didn't do much with the three singles in the game, as he had no runs or RBI, but they marked a much bigger career milestone. The hits brought the veteran to 3,145 for his storied career, which put him past Robin Yount for 19th all time. Cabrera should continue to have nice moments like this the rest of the year, though they don't move the needle in fantasy.

Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Both hits were singles but Cabrera will take it, as it was just his second multi-hit effort in his last 14 games. It's been a longer stretch without a home run for the veteran, who last went deep on June 14. Cabrera should continue on as mostly a contact hitter in what he's said will be his final MLB campaign.
