5 years agoLos Angeles Angels first baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols (undisclosed) is reportedly battling a minor, undisclosed injury, and he is out of the starting nine for Thursday's road series finale against the Texas Rangers. With Pujols on the shelf it is Shohei Ohtani serving as the DH, while Justin Bour gets the starting nod at first base. It's uncertain what the exact source of Pujols' injury is, but beat writer Mike DiGiovanna said it is a minor ailment. For now, consider the veteran slugger day to day.--Daniel Dobish
