Miguel Cabrera’s season is over and his body appears to be breaking down.
Cabrera injured his left biceps on a swing during his first at-bat against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night.

Cabrera was replaced at first base by Nick Goodrum, and it didn’t take long for the bad news about Cabrera to emerge. MLive’s Evan Woodbery reported that Cabrera has a ruptured biceps tendon and will undergo season-ending surgery.

Cabrera was limited to 130 games last year by a back injury and has dealt with multiple injuries this season, including to his hamstring. Now he is out for the season with a biceps injury.
The 35-year-old can still produce at the plate as evidenced by his .301 average and .845 OPS, but we’re starting to get to the point where his body is not cooperating.
