The Angels were given a bit of a scare last night when Albert Pujols was forced to exit in the fourth inning after tweaking his right calf and knee on the basepaths, but it appears he will not require an extended absence.
According to Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times, an MRI exam this afternoon ruled out any structural damage in the calf or knee. Pujols is dealing some some inflammation in the calf, but he?s considered day to day for now.
?I feel way better today,? said Pujols, who had missed only three games before Thursday. ?I?m walking better, and I have some strength. Hopefully, it?s nothing too bad. I hope it?s just day to day.?
Mark Trumbo is filling in at first base tonight against the Red Sox while Vernon Wells is playing left field.
Pujols, 32, is hitting .283/.344/.533 with 28 home runs, 86 RBI and an .877 OPS in 121 games played this season. He leads the majors with 14 home runs since the All-Star break.
