Anthony Fenech of the Detroit News gives us an update on the health of Miguel Cabrera:
Miguel Cabrera began partial weight bearing on his right ankle before Christmas. He’s wearing a boot until he sees doctors in mid-February.

It’s safe to say Cabrera won’t be ready for the start of spring training a week later, Rand said, but too soon to tell for Opening Day.

Cabrera underwent surgery last October to remove bone spurs from his right ankle and repair a stress fracture in his foot. He hit .313/.371/.524 with 25 home runs and 109 RBI over 159 games last season. Imagine what he would’ve done, you know, if his foot worked properly.
