Miguel Cabrera Unlikely To Be Ready For Spring Training

The Detroit Tigers don't think Miguel Cabrera, who is coming off right foot surgery, will be ready for the start of Spring Training.

The franchise is hopeful that Cabrera will be in the Opening Day lineup.

The slugger is doing partial weight-bearing activities with help from a walking boot. He has been doing that since mid-December, as well as some upper-body weight work that doesn't require much mobility.

He is scheduled to wear the walking boot until a mid-February follow-up.
