Cabrera will indeed see at least some time at first base this season, even after Detroit reported a week ago that he wouldn't play the field again in 2019. The club figures to keep a close eye on his lingering knee issue, and he's expected to slot in as the designated hitter for the majority of his starts moving forward.
