The Tigers will open the season with Miguel Cabrera lined up at first base, manager A.J. Hinch told reporters this morning. ?I think he gives us the best chance to win at first base,? Hinch said of the soon-to-be 38-year-old. Cabrera didn?t play in the field at all in 2020, serving as a designated hitter for the Tigers on 56 occasions. He did see some action there in 2019 before sustaining a season-ending biceps injury, but Cabrera hasn?t logged even 300 innings in a season at first base since the 2017 campaign. It?s not a permanent arrangement, but playing Cabrera in the field from time to time allows an outfielder to move to DH on occasion and makes it easier for the Tigers to carry Rule 5 pick Akil Baddoo on the Opening Day roster.

Renato Nu?ez will remain with the Tigers and head to the alternate training site to begin the 2021 season even after being informed that he didn?t make the Opening Day roster. Hinch called the decision ?great news for us? and said he expects Nu?ez to eventually be up with the big league club. Nu?ez, 27 on Sunday, slugged 43 homers with the Orioles from 2019-20 but didn?t exactly force his way onto Detroit?s roster with a spring they couldn?t ignore. In 13 games and 32 plate appearances, he slashed .194/.219/.355 with a homer and a dozen strikeouts (37.5 percent).
