He has also tallied a mere four RBI over 86 plate appearances.</p><p>Although Cabrera is off to quite a sluggish start to the season, Detroit has “no plans to release him,” as <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2023/05/21/as-nationals-among-rebuilding-mlb-teams-being-put-to-ultimate-test/70240619007/" rel="noopener">noted</a> by USA Today Sports’ Bob Nightengale.</p><p>Cabrera, who is owed $32 million this year, has solely featured as a designated hitter in the ongoing 2023 season. He earned a start as a DH in three out of Detroit’s last five games, where he recorded two walks and one hit over 10 plate appearances.</p><p>Tigers manager A.J. Hinch understands just how difficult of a season it has been for the future Baseball Hall of Famer.</p><p>“I feel for him,” Hinch said last week. “At the same time that he’s getting older and not quite the same hitter as he was in his prime, I’m asking him to play less and create more timing issues for him by playing once a series.”</p><p>Cabrera <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-miguel-cabrera-drops-truth-bomb-on-his-tigers-future" rel="noopener">noted</a> last August that he will call it a career following the 2023 campaign, and he <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/35881660/miguel-cabrera-not-changing-mind-2023-farewell-season" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> in March that this indeed will be the plan after this season.</p><p>“My body is certainly telling me that this might be the right time to call it a career,” Cabrera said in March. “I am really grateful for all that I have been able to live and accomplish on the baseball field. But it is time to go. … My only goal this year is to stay on the field for as many games as possible and, most importantly, to help Detroit win. That is how I want to finish my career.”</p><p>Cabrera will one day see his name enshrined in Cooperstown. From the two American League MVP Award wins to the 507 home runs that he has slugged in his career, Cabrera has put together quite a stout resume for the Baseball Hall of Fame.</p><p>In the big picture, the Tigers currently sit in second place in the AL Central standings with a 20-24 record.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Tim Anderson manning shortstop for the White Sox, Andrus still chose to re-sign with Chicago and earned the starting second baseman job.</p><p>Elvis Andrus has flown under the radar for most of his time in the MLB and has enjoyed a fine baseball career. He has played 145+ games in 12 of his 14 seasons and is the leader in steals among active players. He can now add 2,000 hits to his career résumé.</p><p>Andrew McCutchen, Jose Altuve and Freddie Freeman are the next in line for hit No. 2,000.

These changes are being welcomed with open arms, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-miguel-cabreras-hilarious-anti-retirement-take-after-detroits-major-change" rel="noopener">as seen by Miguel Cabrera</a> and his hilarious take on the matter.</p><p>The Tigers are moving in their center field wall, <a href="https://twitter.com/tigers/status/1613204131673522176" rel="noopener">as confirmed by</a> the team. Additionally, Detroit is changing the heights of its right field, right-center field, and center field walls. The Comerica Park upgrades <a href="https://www.crainsdetroit.com/sports-recreation/detroit-tigers-invest-25-million-comerica-park?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=facebook&amp;utm_term=crain%27s+detroit+business&amp;utm_content=3105456d-fa04-4e60-8be2-6311222f18c4" rel="noopener">will cost $2.5 million</a>, with the outfield wall changes costing $1 million, per Crain’s Detroit.</p><p>President of baseball operations Scott Harris <a href="https://twitter.com/BallySportsDET/status/1613321706218586112" rel="noopener">spoke with reporters</a> several weeks ago on the matter. He explained the mindset behind the changes after the team’s announcement.</p><p>“We wanted to strike the right balance,” Harris said Wednesday, “where we were improving the offensive conditions for our hitters without fundamentally changing the profile of the park, and we felt like we could do that with these changes.”</p><p>Before these changes, the Tigers’ center field wall at Comerica Park was 420 feet from home plate. However, laser measurements have it at 422 feet. This was the deepest center field wall in baseball.</p><p>The center field wall will now be 412 feet from home plate. Additionally, the wall height will lower from 8.5 feet to 7 feet. The other walls will also lower to 7 feet from their previous heights.</p><p>The Tigers hope these changes bring a positive effect on their hitters. Detroit owned the MLB’s worst offense last season as they took a major step back from 2021.</p><p>“We feel like too many balls that were barreled to dead center field did not end up being extra-base hits,” Harris said. “It’s very dispiriting for a hitter to barrel a ball to dead center and make a 419-foot out.”</p><p>“If a few more of those end up being home runs or extra-base hits, we think it will have a positive impact on our hitters’ psyche and ultimately a positive impact on our team,” the Tigers executive continued.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If you don’t stay healthy, there’s no chance we can win. We had a lot of injuries this year and it hurt us a lot. We’ll see if we can stay healthy all year.”</p><p>The Tigers endured an abysmal 2022 campaign. They will look to bounce back in 2023.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
