DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera's left Friday's Tigers-White Sox game in the seventh inning with lower back tightness after struggling his way around the basepaths.
Replays showed Cabrera grimacing on his way to first base on a one-out RBI single. Three batters later, his discomfort at third base drew the attention of Tigers head athletic trainer Kevin Rand.
