Albert Pujols Not In Starting Lineup Monday Against Righty
4 years agoLos Angeles Angels first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols will cede way to Jared Walsh at first base for Monday’s contest against Texas and right-hander Kyle Gibson. Pujols has doubled his home run total in 2020 during the month of September, benefitting from Shohei Ohtani being utilized as the DH primarily only versus right-handed pitching. With multiple lineup options at the disposal for manager Joe Maddon -- and with Pujols having passed Willie Mays on the all-time home run list -- how much playing time over the final week that Pujols sees remains up in the air, making him a risky season-long fantasy commodity.
