Miguel Cabrera will skip Home Run Derby

Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera will not compete in the Home Run Derby during the All-Star break. Yoenis Cespedes joins Robinson Cano, Chris Davis and Prince Fielder in the field. 

Cabrera was asked by Cano to participate but was hesitant as he preferred to rest a balky back. He'll take the derby off and play in the All-Star Game. Cabrera has 28 homers with a major-league leading .364 average and 90 RBI over 87 games.
