The Detroit Tigers placed slugger Miguel Cabrera on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday.
Cabrera exited Friday's game, a 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins, with a right groin sprain.
Prior to the decision, manager Brad Ausmus said Cabrera was undergoing an MRI.

Cabrera went 3-for-3 before leaving the loss to the Twins. He is hitting .268 with three home runs and 9 RBI.
