Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera remains out of the lineup Sunday with an abdominal injury, MLive.com reports.

Cabrera has now missed four straight games with the injury. He took ground balls prior to the game and said he felt improvement, but not enough to start the game. He should be back soon, but the club does not have an off day until August 19, so he may end up requiring extra off-days even after he returns to the lineup.

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera said he was feeling better Saturday and hoped he'd be able to play in Sunday's game against the White Sox, MLB.com reports. Cabrera has been out since Wednesday while dealing with an abdominal injury.

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera did not return to the starting lineup Saturday as he continues to sit out due to an abdominal injury.

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is back in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the White Sox, after being held out of the team's game Wednesday due to an abdominal injury.

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera is out of Wednesday's lineup with an abdominal injury, MLive.com reports.

Cabrera aggravated the injury in Tuesday's game and was forced to leave in the fifth inning. It's the same injury Cabrera was dealing with near the All-Star break. The injury mostly impacts Cabrera on defensive plays. According to the team head athletic trainer, it will be a day-to-day issue.

A rival executive told FOX Sports he believes Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton remains unavailable leading up to Wednesday's trade deadline. The latest rumors have the Rangers and Red Sox reportedly interested in acquiring the 23-year-old outfielder.

Although the Marlins have pretty much closed the door on trading outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, the Red Sox might convince the Marlins to rethink their stance, according to MLB.com. A league source said the Red Sox might be willing to offer a substantial deal to acquire Stanton.

Athletics outfielder Yoenis Cespedes hit his first home run since June 21 Monday night during a 9-4 win over Toronto. He also tripled and singled in the game.

Cespedes missed only the double for the cycle as he went 3 for 5 with three RBI and two runs scored. The HR was his 16th of the year and the triple his third. He's batting .232.

Cespedes has gone 6 for 10 in his last two games with two doubles, the triple, the HR, two runs scored and seven RBI.

Sources said the Rangers call the Marlins "every week" to inquire about trading for outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, according to FOX Sports. While in the past Stanton has expressed frustration about the Marlins' moves, he isn't expected to be traded by Wednesday's non-waiver deadline.
