Miguel Cabrera aggravated his sore right ankle when he hit the bag hard trying to beat out a double play throw Saturday night. He stayed in the game until being lifted for a pinch-runner in the eighth, but he was clearly limping on his way through the dugout. It?s enough of a concern that he?s out of the lineup today, giving him two days to recover before Tuesday?s series opener against the Yankees back at Comerica Park.
?Maybe two days off in a row might help,? manager Brad Ausmus said Sunday morning.
Cabrera could pinch-hit, but Ausmus said he?d save that for a situation with runners on and a late-game scenario.
The cascade effect on the lineup affects most of the other spots. Ian Kinsler is back batting second, Rajai Davis is leading off, and Torii Hunter is hitting third. Don Kelly, the first baseman for the day, will bat ninth.

The lineup for the Tigers was not posted until after 11:30 a.m. Central time because Brad Ausmus wanted to check on the condition of Miguel Cabrera, who irritated a nagging ankle issue Saturday night. Cabrera is not in the starting lineup today. With an off day tomorrow, Cabrera will get two days' rest prior to the Yankees-Tigers series that starts Tuesday at Comerica Park.
The Tigers optioned Buck Farmer to Triple-A Toledo following the game Saturday night. Farmer was called up as the 26th player on the roster for the doubleheader Saturday, so there is no corresponding move to announce.
The Tigers are three games behind the Kansas City Royals in the Central Division race and one game behind the Seattle Mariners for the final American League wild-card spot.
