Miguel Cabrera pinch hit for in 1st inning

[Whisp]

Anyone know why?

[Dimethod]

Sounds like a shoulder problem. It will keep him out of the Home run contest.

Watching the game, being called a jammed shoulder, possibly from a diving play he made last night.
Also has been announced that MCab will not participate in tomorrow's HR Derby.

is that going to count against my team as a game played at 3b? it has his stat line and him playing but he didnt really play, what will yahoo do about that one?

You'll have to wait and see, but I'm guessing if he was officially in the lineup when the game began then it will count as a game played in yahoo. It'd most likely be viewed like a player who came in in the 9th inning and only played defense. No official plate appearance but still officially in the game.
