Miguel Cabrera placed on IL for 10 days with biceps stem; The Detroit Tigers add Renato Nunez

The Detroit Tigers placed Miguel Cabrera at first base on Sunday on the list of 10 injured days with a left biceps stalk.

Cabrera played in Saturday’s loss to the Cleveland Indians and does not appear to have suffered an injury at any point during the game. He was replaced by JaCoby Jones, who hit her in the ninth inning on Saturday with the Tigers 11-3.

The 37-year-old Cabrera is 3-for-24 in seven games, with a home round and three RBIs. The two-time MVP and former Triple Crown winner needs 12 homers to reach 500 for his career.

To replace Cabrera on the roster, the Tigers selected the contract of founder Renato Nunez, who joined Detroit in a minor league deal before spring training, but was reassigned to the team’s alternate training spot on March 30.

Nunez spent the last three seasons with the Baltimore Orioles and had 31 career goals in 2019. The Tigers created a 40-man place for Nunez by transferring injured pitcher Julio Tehran to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
