Miguel Cabrera out “a couple of weeks” with small fracture

Yesterday, Miguel Cabrera took a ground ball to the face off of the bat of Hunter Pence of the Philadelphia Phillies. It was pretty evident that the ball took a nasty hop, and he had no way to shield himself. Cabrera received eight stiches after the game.

Most likely, Brandon Inge will hold down the fort at third base. The good news is that Cabrera was seen joking around with his teammates in the clubhouse this morning.

Buster had some other remarks, too.
