MINNEAPOLIS — The Detroit Tigers have placed first baseman Miguel Cabrera on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right groin.

Cabrera was injured while diving for a ground ball in the sixth inning of the Tigers’ game against the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. The 34-year-old slugger is hitting .268 with three home runs and nine RBI this season.

To fill his spot on the roster, the Tigers recalled catcher John Hicks from Triple-A Toledo.

Hicks, 27, played in one game with the Tigers last season. He is batting .424 with 12 RBI in 10 games for the Mud Hens.

WHITE SOX: Chicago recalled catcher Geovany Soto from the 10-day disabled list and moved outfielder Charlie Tilson to the 60-day disabled list.

Soto, on the DL since April 13 with right elbow inflammation, is 4 for 15 with five RBI in five games this season. He was in the lineup for Saturday night’s game against Cleveland and will catch Mike Pelfrey as the right-hander makes his Chicago debut. Pelfrey, who signed with the White Sox on April 5, was called up from Triple-A Charlotte earlier in the day.

Tilson, who started the season on the 10-day disabled list, is out because of stress reaction in his right foot.

DODGERS: Manager Dave Roberts says he hopes second baseman Logan Forsythe, placed on the 10-day DL with a hairline toe fracture on Wednesday, can be back in about two weeks.

DIAMONDBACKS: Right-handed reliever Jake Barrett (shoulder injury), who hasn’t played this season, threw a live batting practice session Saturday.

ANGELS: Right-hander Mike Morin was placed on the 10-day DL with neck tightness. Also, reliever Andrew Bailey, sidelined since April 10 with right shoulder stiffness, has resumed throwing.

REDS: Manager Bryan Price said right-hander Rookie Davis could return from the DL and start on Wednesday at Milwaukee.
