CHICAGO (AP) - Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has left the game against the Chicago White Sox because of left hip flexor tightness.

Cabrera stumbled after his foot hit the bag awkwardly as he rounded first on a single in the first inning Thursday. He remained in the game after being tended to for a few minutes. But Niko Goodrum replaced him at first base in the second inning.
