Cabrera sat out the last game of Detroit’s road trip Thursday in Baltimore after hitting No. 499 on Wednesday night. The 38-year-old slugger is batting .255 with 12 home runs and 51 RBIs this season. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals get ace Jack Flaherty back from the 60-day injured list in the opener of a three-game series at Kansas City. Flaherty has been out since May 31 with an oblique injury.
