Cabrera, who's one of the best pure hitters in the game, is in the midst of transitioning back to his old position in order to accommodate new Detroit first baseman Prince Fielder.
More details to come.
UPDATE: Knobler reports that, according to the Tigers, it's a "best-case scenario." Cabrera has a small fracture and received eight stitches to close the wound. He'll miss about two weeks.
