DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera appears to be fine.

A day after taking a baseball off the knee, the Detroit Tigers first baseman is back in the field and hitting in his usual No. 3 spot for the series opener against the Philadelphia Phillies at Comerica Park (7:10 p.m., Fox Sports Detroit).

Cabrera (.315, nine home runs, 26 RBIs) was diagnosed with a left knee contusion after leaving Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays and was not available to reporters after.

Additionally, Justin Upton was a late-hour scratch with tightness in his right quad. Steven Moya will play left field and hit sixth in his spot.

The rest of the lineup for Detroit (21-22) sits status quo, with the outfield unit including Cameron Maybin and James McCann catching.

Pitching for the Phillies (25-19) is right-hander Vince Velasquez.
