Cabrera goes on disabled list
Miguel Cabrera went on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in his career and is expected to miss six weeks with a Grade 3 left calf strain. A Grade 3 strain is the most severe, a near or complete rupture of the muscle.
Cabrera, 32, suffered the injury while breaking for second base in the fourth inning of Friday's 8-6 win over the Blue Jays. Cabrera is batting .350 with 16 doubles, 15 home runs, and 54 RBIs in 77 games.
The Tigers recalled infielder Jefry Marte from triple-A Toledo. Marte has primarily played third base this season, but also has played first base.
"When you lose the best hitter on the planet, it's a huge blow," manager Brad Ausmus said. "We're going to have to find a way to get it done."
Twins activate Ervin Santana
The surprising Minnesota Twins, who are in second place in the American League Central, have added a front-line starter for the rest of the season.
Righthander Ervin Santana has been reinstated after an 80-game drug suspension and is scheduled to start Sunday against the Kansas City Royals.
"It's a little different than making a trade, I think," Twins manager Paul Molitor said.
